My thought was a loosely connected network of vintage

connected by UUCP and bound together by some part-time (midnight)
dialup servers, which would allow you to send files DIRECTLY from your
Kaypro to someone else's CompuPro. Or from your Commodore to
someone's PDP-11.
That would be cool but it begs the questions:
a) wouldn't the long-distance charges quell enthusiasm for this at some
point?
b) what would it be used for?
Would it just come into being to move useless data around and brag to
girls about it?
