In addition to the company telephone directory, Boeing now is producing
(in paper) en electronic mail directory.  The first edition, which
recently came out, does not yet include USENET addresses, despite there
being about eight Boeing computers which are USENET nodes.  This may
be because there is as yet no connection between USENET and the other
EMAIL networks in the company.

Out in the vast wilds of personal computers, there are many computer
buellitin boards which carry lists of other bulletin boards numbering
in the hundreds of entries.  Perhaps this qualifies as a network of
sorts.
