;;; 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.
;;
;; PATHS
;;
;; On some systems, some of these programs are not in normal user path,
;; but rather in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and so on.
