-At the last UniForum, they showed off a TCP/IP implementation for the 3B
-under S5R2.x Version y, for some valsue of "x" and "y".  It resembled the
-version you describe; it had "rlogin", "rsh", "rwho" and other Berkeley
-protocols as well as the usual DOD protocols (FTP, TELNET, SMTP).  They did
-provide an interface that's compatible with sockets (to some unspecified
-degree).

-This wasn't on top of streams, obviously.  Is this new version a version for
-S5R3 that runs on top of streams?  If so, they've either provided a protocol-
-to-network-interface interface or have taught the IP layer about Ethernet
-and X.25 headers (ecch).

What puzzles me is why Dennis Ritchie's streams-based TCP/IP
implementation doesn't seem to be becoming an AT&T product.
