Nah, a cyberspace is a psuedo-physical world, where you can move, and
interact with other people. Net-Doom is cyberspace, albeit a limited
one. We sometimes call IRC cyberspace, because we can interact. But we
can't move, so really it's not cyberspace. By my definition, the
Internet as a whole is cyberspace, but individual parts (IRC, Telnet,
etc) aren't.
