	    Note that the 4.3 htable still cannot handle lowercase, nor does
	    it like host names of the form `3B5' (begins with a digit).  I
	    plan to throw out the current source for htable and start over...
	
	I'm glad somebody had the sense to fix broken parsers instead of
	administratively imposing restrictions on what companies call their
	machines.  You just can't prefice the company name onto the machine
	name.  Suppose 3Com built a machine called the 747?
	
I don't know about 3Com, but I think Boeing already has :-)
