Not to go too far afield, but I think there's consensus
among us old Unix folk that the mistake that CSRG made
wasn't in the use of addresses but in having "sockets"
instead of using file descriptors.  This was actually
fixed in SysVRSomethingOrOther with the introduction of
a network pseudo-filesystem (open("/net/192.168.1.1", ... )
with ioctls but never got traction.
