	Oh, please!

	Please put "System V" or "AT&T" somewhere around that "UNIX". Let's
not forget that Berkeley UNIX, using the socket interface they invented, had
TCP/IP support while AT&T still proudly proclaimed that they had "networking"
support, meaning UUCP.
	For the only UNIX that's been a real player in internetworking for the
last, what, 8 years?, sockets are the "native" interface and TLI support is
something you add so you can deal with the latecomers.
	In a TCP/IP news group, which one has really earned the right to be
called "UNIX," unadorned? :-)
