[ba.market.computers] Wanted: UNIX Stuff

I'm a bit confused.

A while back, I posted a message here asking if my Callan Unistar 300, running
Unistar UNIX System V release 4.2, could support networking, e.g. TCP/IP and
UUCP.

I got a whole bunch of replies saying that "yes, this system can support
UUCP by defualt, since all UNIXes have them.  But TCP/IP?  Nah..."

Recently, I was poking around the /usr/include directory, and discovered
a subdirectory below that: /usr/include/net.

Being the curious fellow that I am, I peeked in there... and found quite
a surprise.  Network include files: socket.h, tcp-ip.h, et al.

Now this brings me to a mental paradox: CAN my machine support TCP/IP?
Frankly, I'm too confused, so I don't know.

Can any of you answer me?  Please mail all replies to dburr@ocf.berkeley.edu
Thanks!
