   Maybe I'm out of touch (partly because we're new on Usenet). But I'm
going to ask, anyway. Does anyone know about a TCP/IP implementation
on a pure system V ? I know about the Pyramid system. But what can
one do if he's stuck with just system V and no Berkeley ?
   I'd love to know how this was done. There's of course the possibility
to have just the Ethernet (or any other) physical media driver in the
kernel and do the upper layers as user processes. But then most likely
the performance is lousy. Or maybe you can't even keep up with the data
rates.
   Did anyone implement it and how ? Even more - any rumors about AT&T's
intentions to implement some normal networking in system V.x.x ?
   Thanks for info / rumors / ideas / flames , etc.
