I looked at that (Actually, I looked at AVR8 CAN

thought I'd try to find an all C64 option for Sellam. I like the uC
approach, as it offloads a lot of the networking from the main machine
(like the original ARPANET had those boxes that bridged the net to the
machine, can;t remember the term for them).
IMPs - Internet Message Procesors. I'm blanking on the first generation
hardware, but later IMPs were PDP-11-based.
IIRC, the first IMPs were based on the Honeywell 516. I actually just
finished a history book about ARPANET so I think that's right :)
