#180815 - begged question
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Now that begs the question: did a mainframe or a minicomputer have this feature?

Or were there any standalone UART chips that did it?

anyhow, the idea of networking was not prevalent in (was it) 1985.

Not as we know it today, perhaps.
But the idea of a communication "bus" was certainly well established; eg HP-IB (IEEE-488).
