If you count support for ARPANET, the direct

TOPS-20AN existed at least as early as 1980.
Using a hasty definition of "Internet" as loosely connected machines from
different organisations which could at least pass email/files around, how
does UUCP fit into this timeline? Note the map from 1981 shows some

UUCP was part of UNIX V7 in 1979; I couldn't find any earlier UUCP maps
other than the one from 1981 above.
