I wrote the IEN116 server that came from Rand, and have always given
it away free to anyone that asked for it.  We do charge a handling fee
for our E/MH tape, but the name server was such a quick hack that
it's not even included on that tape!

Barry - I'm emailing it to you under separate cover; let me know
if it doesn't get to you soon.

p.s. strictly speaking, IEN116 name servers are UDP based, not TCP.
there is another protocol for doing name lookups with TCP, and
then there is the domain stuff ...
