I remember those too. A lot of people learnt TCP/IP back in the day on
those networks (it's also how I started writing stuff for Linux, but
that's a different story).

You really get to understand how TCP/IP works when you get bored and see
it pass by at 1200 or, at best, 9600 baud.  I'm not 100% sure, but I
think the TCP RTT estimate is due to those networks; certainly Phil
Karn was (still is?) a ham running TCP/IP.
