What, and nobody mentioned Z-Net yet?  It was a completely
proprietary network, implemented on Zilog's z80-based os
(forgot its name), which was implemented in assembly and so
pretty non-portable, but there were some folks who liked it.
Z-net ran at about 800kbps, using an SIO chip, the same one
that Omninet used for its 1mbps, I think.
