I assume you mean iBCS2 emulation, it is distinct from SVR4.

All you need to do to get TCP/IP networking to work in iBCS2
emulation is

# touch /dev/socksys

i.e. it doesn't need to be a special file, it just needs to
exist.  Yep, that's slightly counter-intuitive.

I thought this was mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find
it right now.
