However, extrapolating from this, in NFT/FAL, there is

Wait, what? There was a DECnet implementation for CP/M?
Not necessarily. Code points were at times assigned to things that never happened.
Consider the Cterm foundation layer which lists RSTS and RT-11, neither of which ever
implemented Cterm. Or OS-8 and RTS-8 in several of those lists; I think DECnet/8 is for
RTS-8, but there never was one for OS-8. (Or is it the other way around?)
Well, it sure was nice to think about for a moment. I've always
loved CP/M. It warms my cockles just knowing that someone once
considered it a possibility.
