Later versions probably did. Hmmm.... I once had a copy of that
somewhere, and one of my clients still has a Bay Networks 5000 chassis
with several 32-port terminal server blades which are re-badged xylogics
machines.... Nortel probably still care about the license on the code,
but I can at least look at it and see what its capabilities are.

Having seen many kinds of milking machines, and having used one kind for
