I think people forget how prevalent IPX/SPX and Netware was back in the late 80s-early 90s. Fun anecdote: I used to work on a large MoD site as PC support during that era, and one call I got was to visit a bunch of porta-cabins to fix their Netware network because they wanted to play network DOOM and for some reason it wasn't working.
