NETLDISC
From: clemens at DTI (David Clemens)
There is a note in "introduction to berkeley kernel Modifications ..."
stating the following:

NETLDISC
	The "network line discipline" number 1, which was put in for the Berknet to
make it reasonable to run at 9600 baud, does not work.  Strangely enough, the
same code works fine on the Vax and the Onyx.

I notice when looking at bk.c that it has its own ioctl routine that it
wishes to have called through linesw.  However, none of the tty handlers
on the 2.8 tape (kl.c, dz.c, etc.) call the ioctl routine through linesw.
They just call ttioctl directly.  Also, the initialization of linesw
in c.c specifies "nullioctl" instead of ttioctl for disciplines 0 and 2.
Could this have something to do with the NETLDISC problem?
