We don't need to have a net=5Fserver; if networking is in the kernel, we 
wouldn't need it.
And as we basically now rebuild BONE, why don't use the BONE 
architecture as a guide=3F
OTOH perhaps we can take what FreeBSD has to offer, and try to *port* 
it, that is similar or even the exact internal interfaces etc.

And there is some more like PAP, CHAP, CLIP, LDAP, and probably all 
other thinkable 3 to 4 letter acronymns.

Adios...
