I seem to remember at the local DECworld '88 when they introduced
DECwindows they said that the sources would be available for some
nominal charge (media cost).  Seems like some adventurous people could
get the sources, make them work with their favorite flavor of
TCP/IP (hopefully DEC TCP/IP has BSD-style socket libraries), and
then post the changes or whatever.

I'm certainly not going to switch to DEC TCP/IP unless it has
gated, named, et al, like WIN/TCP does.  And even if it did, I
might not...
