TCP/IP on SysV (summary)

Thanks to all who answered my query about TCP/IP support for 
SysV Unix (did I forget to mention we're looking at a Vax on
a local Ethernet?).  The consensus on AT&T support is that they
are working on it as part of the streams I/O package; it may be
in SysVr3.  The most optimistic date mentioned is Spring of 1986.

Several other companies were mentioned as being worth looking into;
the information I got doesn't lend itself to comparisons, so I'll
just list them:

Excelan (San Jose, CA)
The Wollongong Group (S.F. Bay Area)
CMC (Santa Barbara, CA?)
Uniq (Batavia, IL)     -- Uniq has their own sVr2 kernel
Unisoft (Berkeley, CA) -- this one may not be for VAXen; the letters
				referred to 68000 machines.

If anyone wants a copy of the responses I got, let me know and I'll
ship you the bunch (about a dozen).  I'm going to ship it upstairs to
my boss and let him decide what to do with it.
