Seriously ? That's a priority target ? How many of you are still using
this in production for VSI to justify porting it at this time ?

The only place that stack should be is in the computer history museum.

I hope VSI are giving the stack itself a good audit while porting it
because if the TCP/IP stack suffers from security issues, then you
can safely assume the DECnet Phase IV stack does as well (just like
any other networking stack does).
