	Ummm, I don't know about BSD being CLEANER, just first... I
	think non-english speaking UNIX people might have a problem 
	with BSD as well. And it would take a REAL good argument to
	convince me that BSD sockets and Co. is cleaner than STREAMS
	and TLI or as flexible when it comes to code using multiple
	network types dynamically without recompilation.

	I grant youthat MOST network code is written to the BSD socket
	model and has a bent toward BSD OS model because BSD had
	good OS extentions before SV. I think it's QUITE a bit of a stretch
	to call BSD cleaner than R4 tho.

	Flames and religeous wars to e-mail, c.u.a doesn't need
	religous wars filling it's bandwidth...
