- Excuse me, but the "networking types" I talk to believe that sockets
- were a botch and that network connections definitely DO belong within
- a uniform UNIX "file" name space. Peter was quite right to note that
- this is an essential feature of UNIX's design. In fact there are UNIX
- implementations that do this right, 4BSD is simply not among them yet.
