It is unique to Pyramid.  Aesthetically speaking, it shouldn't be there,
but it was useful at the time the 't' and 'f' protocols were adapted from
their BSD origins to Honey Danber.  (Yes, you'll see "f<-" and "f->" if
you use UUCP over X.25.)  Standardized in OSx 5.1.

Actually, the stock System V HDB doesn't offer 'f' or 't'.  People with
Real Networks are supposed to use FTP, SMTP, and NNTP, aren't they?
