I've been doing some research on Lisp machines

Does anyone remember why that went in? My first guess would be for
interoperability with the Symbolics users at Bell Labs (see Bromley's
"Lisp Lore", 1986), but that's just speculation.

Didn't BSD have Chaosnet support? It wouldn't suprise me to learn that
it was just left over from when Research imported 4.1 BSD.
