The irony of it, that the DEC concept requires creating a separate server
process for every client connection, while the standard *nix sockets API
lets a single server process handle multiple connections (or fork off
separate processes to spread the load, as it chooses).
I say “irony” because, of course, creation of all these extra processes
willy-nilly is expensive on VMS (and on its Windows NT successor), while
it is much cheaper on *nix systems.
