Ooohh... dnet. I remember dnet. Yah, there were a few byte ordering
problems. There was also a bug somewhere in the protocol that I never
was able to track down. That was also my first attempt at using SIGIO.
What a disaster! A lot of people managed to get it to work, though, and
I would occassionally get an email from some unix system administrator
asking me what the frig was the little process his users were leaving
running in the background! Heh heh.
