(1) I've never had anything to do with /etc/networks. Does its syntax
support the modern idea of a classless network such as
131.111.10.128/25? That is, if you entered 131.111.10.128 would it infer
the /25?
(2) Of course, it would be relevant for sender_net_xxx options rather
than sender_host_xxx options.
(3) Do all Unixes have the getnetbyname() function?
