I am not so sure. Initially IBM's internal VNET network (and BITENT) didn't use
SNA they used bisync RSCS (for mail and files) and bisync 3270 lines handled by PVM
(Passthrough Virtual machine)
Native SNA didn't come to VM until very late in the day....
Funny thing was DECnet was in 1983 the largest
world wide network
period.
comma, ignoring SNA.
