I think so, though it wasn't high on the list of features. Nor should
it be. But the message system in particular (for communicating
between kernel processes) makes for a very interesting design. Adding
networking was as simple as extending the message system beyond the
local cluster, and Tandem was running an internal world-wide network
by the early 1980s. It makes an interesting (if not particularly
good) comparison with the Internet.

Tandem's Guardian was a microkernel, and a
very successful one at
that.
I doubt if anyone knew or knows that who didn't work there.
