   Then I guess we're all done.
   Just comple the BSD sockets part of the Unix kernel.
   That was easy!

If you don't exaggerate, yes.  No need to port a UNIX kernel to Genera
thuogh.  Getting a working socket implementation should take only a
few days, you could do most of the leg work in C if you so want to.
You could even bootstrap of an existing portable socket library and
get that working.
