Summary

Network functions

Commentary

There are three main areas of functionality:

* Wrap common network utility programs (ping, traceroute, netstat,
nslookup, arp, route).  Note that these wrappers are of the diagnostic
functions of these programs only.

* Implement some very basic protocols in Emacs Lisp (finger and whois)

* Support connections to HOST/PORT, generally for debugging and the like.
In other words, for doing much the same thing as "telnet HOST PORT", and
then typing commands.
