Hmm., which to someone like me (who's customers are pressuring me to release
an OSX version of my mail server that has better performance than the OS9
version) sounds like it is a problem with OSX networking.
It's definitely a problem with Mac OS X networking. It's just not a
problem *unique* to Mac OS X networking, but rather one inherited
from Unix.
Since Windows uses the BSD socket API as well, doesn't it also have

rely on any third parties for OS technology now. And hey, bonus
licensing revenue from sales of Solaris and HP-UX!])
