Since the discussion was about how fast UNIX can route packets, Dennis is
absolutely right... they are not important because by your own statement,
IOS is not UNIX.  Neither is Microsoft because I don't recall Microsoft
releasing any UNIX variant OS's recently.

And I don't particularly care if Gates _did_ try to assimilate UNIX into
NT by decree of equivalency  :-)  NT ain't UNIX.

(Actually, I could have sworn that I heard that IOS was developed with
a UNIX model in mind (obviously not for the routing parts, but...))
