All *BSD ports based on Net/2 code are based on MACH 2.x (2.5, if I'm not
mistaken), as far as I can tell. I've already thought on changing this to
use the MACH 3 code as this way you would get two OSs for the price of one
when porting :-), but I didn't get around to even investigate the cost of
this.
