Now, could someone provide the real answer? When did DECNET first come
into existence?

1975. I wouldn't be surprised if network email arrive in Phase II
(1976) or Phase III (1980).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DECnet
DECnet is a suite of network protocols created by Digital
Equipment Corporation, originally released in 1975 in order
to connect two PDP-11 minicomputers. It evolved into one of
the first peer-to-peer network architectures, thus transforming
DEC into a networking powerhouse in the 1980s.

Was there any serial machine-to-machine protocol for
VMS before the first port of UUCP?

DECnet III supported X.25.


OK, I worded that wrong. I knew tere was DECNET for the PDP-11.
When was DECNET first avalable for VMS and was there any other
inter-machine protocol before that?
