The Xenix communications manual has plenty of detail on how to set it = up: http://www.nj7p.org/Manuals/PDFs/Intel/174461-001.pdf Looks as if it built a routed network among a set of Xenix machines = using conventional serial lines, including remote login / file transfer / mail ervices. Would have been quite a big selling point for software = development shops in the days before TCP/IP and ubiquitous connectivity, especially = as it looks as if it was decentralised and didn=E2=80=99t require any extra = server hardware. MMDF could route mail between Micnet and UUCP.
