Summary of sysVr3 socket question

[Patrick J. Spinler]

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a question about using sockets on a
at&t 3b2/500 running sys V r 3.1.1.  I received several very excellent
replys, and would like to thank everyone who mailed answers.

Ienup Sung (iusung%cosmos.kaist.ac.kr at relay.cs.net) and Chris Dodd
(dodd at csl.sri.com) and at least one other person who's mail message I
lost (Sorry ... wince) pointed out that I was attempting to call both
bind and connect on the same socket.  This turned out to be the source
of my problems, since I was under the impression that a socket would
be duplicated at a fork.  However, one person did point out that my
example code ran correctly on his 4.3bsd system.  (Again, I lost the
mail ... I know, I know .. clean up my directory tree ..).

Also, Tom L. Baitz (dpocs2!tomb at uunet.UU.NET) sent me some excellent
example code, which helped greatly. 

Thanks to all who replied, and apologies for losing several of the
very good responses, I guess you'll just have to be famous is private
:).
