...hmm, what about that "select" ioctl in the header files, then?  (I was
experimenting with STREAMS-based ham radio networking under Xenix... dropped
it like a hot potato when I discovered the lack of documentation for the
network subsystem.)

Not that this is particularly relevant to the discussion...
