To clairify my remarks about 4.2BSD; I was only pointing out that the only
widely available UNIX-like operating system that supports TCP/IP is 4.2BSD,
and that there is no support in System V.  As a co-author of a TCP/IP
implementation for a Sperry system, I'm painfully aware that TCP/IP and 4.2
are not synonymous.
