XENIX 286 never had sockets.  Excelan sold a TCP/IP hardware/software
package which had a rough emulation of the 4.1a BSD socket implementation.
But it certainly wasn't a general facility.

"Feeling 4BSD" means (as a minimum): long file names, symlinks, and job
control, all of which RT 2.2.1 lack and which AIX PS/2 has.
