Should I read this a yet another version of tcp, nfs and ftp but
made by atari to be incompatible with all other manufatures?

Atari makes parallel computers and a presume an operating sytem that
will allow multi-tasking and multi-processors with a relitivly new and
unkown chip, hmmm.  Interesting coming from a manufacturer that can
not make a single user single taking os with a well known and popular
chip.  Sounds like vapor-ware to me.
