I remember looking at xvt when it first came out some years ago.  Can
anybody mail me a capsule description of what their networking support
is at this point?  It looked to me like the bulk of a multi-platform
program could be essentially the same source code, but that multiple
network-interface modules would be required to deal with Berzerkeley
Sockets on the Unix platforms, MacTCP on the Mac platform, and whatever
the equivalent is on Evil IBM PCs.

So (hint, hint) some kind of a socket implementation for xvt would be a
real big win in my opinion...
