Hum, no.
Under a R5, we have these libraries:
libnet.so (BSD socket + BIND C API)
libnetapi.so (C++ BNet* classes, specific to BeOS, linked against 
libnet.so)

Under a R5 + BONE, you still have the two before, plus these ones:
libsocket.so (BSD socket C API)
libbind.so (BIND C API)
libbnetapi.so (C++ BNet* classes, specific to BeOS, linked against 
libsocket.so)
See the double 'b' in libbnetapi.so, right?

As some structs and consts in R5 libnet.so are not POSIX compliant, 
Howard choose to 
separate completly the BONE libraries and R5 net_server ones to make 
them 
coexists.

We choose another way to handle this: dynamicly detect if the app 
expect the 
R5 net_server's libnet compatibility or POSIX compatibilty (so BONE 
apps, too).
