There is a TCP/IP library out there, and DJ put <sys/fsext.h> behavior into
V2 just for this purpose (so reads/writes could work to alternate devices).
As a matter of fact, we had discussed a BSD like sockets package sometime
in the past.  As far as timing, I can't say.  It's on my "I want it bad 
enough to do it" list, but I am currently very short on time, so it wouldn't
be real soon.
