do any of TLI, NLI or DLI contain something with more functionality
than sockets - like a standard management interface, or a standard
packet filter or traceer interface - and i dont mean ioctl and nit
like vaguaries

if not, i suggest its just more noiseware to make unix less useful,
designed by manufacturers running scared from real open systems and
shareware...
