Tymshare was a service, but the computers talked to each over over a
vast network. The network was spun off as a separate business. There
is code available for the SDS 940, Tymeshare's TYMCOM-X, and TENEX.

Yes, but also all over the MIT campus really. There is Chaosnet for
4.1BSD, if that's your thing. Also various PDP-10 systems: ITS,
TOPS-20, TENEX.
