New thought: Corporate founders naturally wishing to choose names that describe their companies, you can often tell a lot about a computer company's focus by the etymology of its name (or the name itself), e.g.

International BUSINESS Machines
Silicon GRAPHICS Incorporated
National CASH REGISTER
Compaq (i.e. a variation of "compact")
Hewlett-Packard (the exception that proves the rule -- probably in a class by itself because the original company did instrumentation, not computing)
Unisys (another exception -- invented name for Univac, Sperry Rand, Burroughs +/-)
Bull (what can I say!)

Then there is the only one I can think of with a network focus:

Stanford University NETWORK

JMHO.
