Hmm, I hadn't ever heard of anything referred to as "Tymnet." The
product I came across was (I believe) a follow on or derivative of BTS (SDS
940), starting c. 1967 Tymeshare (with a y). I had assumed it was
US-based, but possibly am mistaken.

Sorry, I should probably look through the preso before replying, but are
you perhaps thinking of "Tymnet", a product of Tymeshare, Inc. (with an
'e')?
