	We have had problems with the TCP server and the "spiffy"
new compilers of 9.5.1 (and 9.5 - we were dumb enough to agree to
be a beta-test site for 9.5).  The 9.5 tcp/rcp had a tendency to scramble
large files -- a bug that Apollo said they could not reproduce. The update
to 9.5.1 has reduced the problem, but we still get some errors in large
file rcp's.  The rwhod deamon has not worked correctly since 9.2.* and
our routed tables get munged occasionally and I have to kill the tcp
server and related processes are restart.

	We too have been assured that 9.6 will fix these problems
and Apollo asked if we would like to beta-test 9.6 for them.  I was
proud of myself for politely declining.  This was only about 3
weeks ago, so 9.6 probably won't be out for a while -- if they actually
test their software before they ship it.  What fun!  Just think, we
could have had suns instead.
