I would just like to mention that I doubt that ANY implementation of
TCP/IP "implements RFC 1123".  Someday, maybe.  Today, no.  It's more
of a target we are all aiming at.

By the way, *my* question about the next release of the MacTCP resolver
would be "will it be implemented as a driver?" (to support multiple
simultaneous applications and to reduce start-up time).
