+    <youpi> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2003-05/msg00069.html
+    <youpi> this was supposed to be much better than our current netio
+    <youpi> (which doesn't really have any documentation btw)

+    <teythoon> youpi: socketio looks nice. any reason in particular why you are
+      working on it?
+    <youpi> teythoon: I was looking at the firewall stuff, and wondering about
+      Zheng Da's work, and seen netio, thus wondered "what is it about
+      already?" and found there was no documentation, so dug into the mailing
+      list archives, only to find it was supposed to be precated in favour of
+      socketio, etc. :)
