Most of the communications programs on Berkeley Unix (tip, rlogin, cu)
are split into two two processes on the local side, a reader and
writer. This makes sense to me in a System V environment with no
"select" system call. But why the extra process in tip and rlogin,
which are relatively recent and written just for BSD?
