Yeah, I understand that.  But they advertise that their sockets are
4.2[3] BSD compatible!!!  I have also been told so by the sale people
before I purchased it.  I wouldn't mind if they made it clear that
their software will require modifications of most of 4.2 based
networking codes like SUN's RPC, X server IPC part, sendmail, etc.

I'm simply saying that if they charge so much $$$, they could have
done a better job.  and if they chose not to do so, they should
inform the customers of such fact before purchase.
