To clear up any confusion among readers of the preceding thread, IRIX 3.3
telnet and telnetd are very 4.3BSD-Tahoe-ish.  The modest source
differences are related to implementation details of things like PTY's and
SV signals.  The IRIS 4D has always had 4.3BSD networking, with a slavish
but enthusiastic attitude toward BSD purity and 4.3 "diffability."  I'm one
of the slaves.
