Long ago when we were running ACSnet
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHSnet) we lacked graphical
workstations so we never saw the Bell Labs face mail
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vismon) mechanism in action. I think
colleagues who later had Sun workstations might have briefly had
X-face in operation.

I see on Luca Cardelli's homepage that there was an icon for ACSnet
email, of course it is  Kangaroo...
