Is Solaris 2's networking based on SVR4 TCP (which lived in the house
Lachman built)?  It seems to act very differently from Berkeley code.
In fact, after reading the recent W. Richard Steven's TCP/IP book, it
looks like it acts so very much unlike BSD code that I'd have to use
USL's new and improved definition of "based upon" for it to make any
sense.
