The local (Seattle) DG rep tells me that IC/TCP will NOT be available
for AOS/VS in the near future. In fact, it is currently available for
native UNIX only, not for the 'hosted' UNIX that runs as a process under
AOS/VS.

Furthermore, the DG rep says there are NO plans to support IC/TCP under
AOS (the operating system for 16 bit Eclipses).
