Careful!  I only rewrote Rick Adams' code for 4.3BSD, removing the
horrible hacks needed to make it work in a binary-only system,
where there is no way to attach the interfaces at kernel startup.
Mark Weiser re-re-edited the code to run under several different
SunOS releases; various versions of this are available via anonymous
FTP from host mimsy.umd.edu.

At the moment, mimsy is being emulated by a Sun-3/50 with less than 5%
of the disk space of the Vax-11/780-5 whose place it is holding, and
the FTP archives are unavailable.  We anticipate that the machine
should be working again by the middle of next week, assuming that
nothing major went wrong when it was moved across the campus.  Please
also restrict anonymous FTP access to 7 AM to 7 PM EST (1200 to 0000
UTC) if possible.
