Speaking as list creator and admin:

The list is intended for that focus, which does include related technologies (as per the next answer).

Preferably ones that evolved into, influenced, interconnected with, or competed directly with the Internet.

Those all would be fine, as would be OSI, X.25, ATM, AlohaNet, etc. 

Teletype (telex) and SS7 are examples that would be out of scope unless there’s some Internet relation in the question posted.

Again, preferably there’s a reason to discuss them here - either a relation to the Internet or an expectation that someone here might know an answer or provide a referral that can be provided privately.
