Its quite interesting to observe that the trace of Chaosnet can be found in Richard Stallman's original GNU Manifesto, written in 1985. Though it's not a surprise since he worked extensively at the MIT AI Lab at that time. > GNU will be able to run Unix programs, but will not be identical to Unix. [...] We will try to support UUCP, MIT Chaosnet, and Internet protocols for communication. https://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html https://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html The mention of UUCP at a separate protocol in parallel to IP was also interesting. Since the 90s, UUCP is running on top of TCP/IP which runs the Usenet, but in the 80s, UUCP was used on point-to-point dialup links.
