In the early 1980s Digital Research also developed networking software named CP/NET used to connect an MP/M server with multiple CP/NET clients (named requesters) running CP/M.<ref name="Kildall_1981_CP/M"/> It was originally developed by Tom Rolander.<ref name="IEEE_2014"/>

MP/NET was an MP/M system with networking allowing the MP/M system to function as both requester and server with CP/M requesters.<ref name="Kildall_1981_CP/M"/>

The CP/NET clients could also be run in a diskless configuration with the system stored in ROM, then named CP/NOS (with NOS for Network Operating System). Similar, MP/NOS contained MP/M without local disk facilities. Like CP/NOS, MP/NOS performed the disk functions through the network.<ref name="Kildall_1981_CP/M"/>

The system allowed to share files and printers and send electronic messages.

CP/NET existed in versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 in versions for 8080 and Z80 processors. CP/NET-86 for 8086 was available as well.

Later incarnations were [[DR Net]] and [[FlexNet (Novell)|FlexNet]].
