Thanx for the kind words Jeff.  The people you really should reward are
Lynrene Frueh and Cas Caswell.  They were the 2 original team members on
the Telnet/iX Server project and they both spent many hours hashing out
a design that would try to maximize performance in a TCP/IP 1 character
at
a time world.  They also did a super job of inspecting the heck out of
the driver code to catch early design and coding defects.
  As for me, I came in later to help with some device allocation stuff
and cheerlead from the side....
  Great story by the way...
