B-NET stands for Berkeley NETworking. It is the name supplied to the BSD 4.x
networking code ported over to A/UX (which is System V based). A reasonable
reference is the A/UX manual "A/UX Communications User's Guide".
B-NET (or BNET) the term was coined by UniSoft. UniSoft has spelled it both
ways for a number of years.
