You've spent more time talking about this than it would have taken to just implement the extra pieces you want or need, like /net/ipifc and /net/ether. The low-level OS grunge work is already done thanks to p9p. It's just a few lines of code. Or, if you are so inclined, you can port the entire existing Plan 9 IP stack. That's more than just a few lines of code. Either way, complaining isn't nearly as effective as doing. Russ
