As I recall it was possible to access Chaosnet from Project Athena
VAX/750's running BSD 4.3, so presumably Chaosnet was ported into the
BSD 4.3 kernel at one point. It wasn't used for anything official,
but there were folks who were using it to access Tech Square machines
from the SIPB office in 11-205 (on the main campus) as late as 1991 or
so.
