I started using Linux in the summer of '92 (get off my lawn!), so it was
even pre-distro.  IIRC, there has always been an IP stack of some sort,
since I had a Western Digital *mumble* ISA Ethernet controller that I
could use to network with one of my roommates.

PPP (or was it SLIP?) was working then as well.
