- If Coherent is more SVR4ish, I would doubt you will be able to get it to
- work with DNET. Linux, on the other hand, seems to be more compliant to
- Posix and therefore supports more BSDisms (sockets, shared mem, etc) which
- should let it run DNET. I haven't tried this, but I will soon give it
- a shot..
