While Excelan TCP/IP does support BSD sockets, its a matter of what
sockets.  They support the old, out of date, BSD 4.1 socket interface.

Chip passed on to me part of compatibility library for some missing
routines, and I am attempting to develop some more.  When I get some
time to get somewhere, I will let people know about it.  In particular
what I am trying to isolate is the listen socket call, which was
not part of the 4.1 set, and allows for servers to be easily implimented.

I have my doubts if I can come up with a large set of compatibility
functions, but some are possible.  What started this was smail 3.1
needing them.
