Well, I've been staying out of this, partly because HP is a major
vendor of non-PostScript (TM) printers, but ...

At least two of our top networking engineers are visually impaired.
One is blind, and another uses very large print on the screen.  An
ASCII document can displayed at any size on a screen, or displayed
on a volatile Braille display, or even printed in Braille.  PostScript
can't.

We can handle PostScript diagrams, but PostScript text (i.e.,
paper-only text) is not for everybody.  I'd appreciate it if y'all
keep an ASCII copy of TCP/IP documents available.
