    The Xerox support of TCP/IP is in the User-contributed library,
    as I recall.  It implements "transparent" connecting to, say,
    a Unix directory by building it on top of FTP.  Cute.

The above comments are only true of Interlisp.  TCP/IP from xerox
for Viewpoint and XDE worlds (which use approximately the same hardware as 
Interlisp products) have a fully implemented and supported-by-xerox
tcp/ip in the most recent release.
