Am I to understand that TCP/IP for 3B1's has no select(2)?  Question
for all you out there.  We have Convergent Mini-frames with TCP/IP
and missing system calls ( and also bugs in some that are there ).
Did Convergent do the TCP/IP for 3B1's?  How close is the 3B1 to
4.3BSD? What about 3B2 series?  What does it have? I heard for the
3B2 that there are different versions, if so how many and differences?
