For sure -- I was trying to differentiate between "the Internet" (a 
proper noun), which is what the initial query asked about, and 
"inter-networking."

Asking what the first example of inter-networking was or what the first 
inter-networking experiment or protocol was is not, unless we define it 
to be so, the same as asking about the birth of the Internet.
