27 ;; There are three main areas of functionality:
29 ;; * Wrap common network utility programs (ping, traceroute, netstat,
30 ;; nslookup, arp, route). Note that these wrappers are of the diagnostic
31 ;; functions of these programs only.
33 ;; * Implement some very basic protocols in Emacs Lisp (finger and whois)
35 ;; * Support connections to HOST/PORT, generally for debugging and the like.
36 ;; In other words, for doing much the same thing as "telnet HOST PORT", and
37 ;; then typing commands.
41 ;; On some systems, some of these programs are not in normal user path,
42 ;; but rather in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and so on.
