That question was very much tongue-in-cheek but nevertheless I much
appreciate the straightfaced reaction.

You might be surprised by WfW311's TCP/IP stack - as far as I'm aware,
it was more or less lifted in one piece from BSD, to the point that it
supported IP forwarding. For Windows 95, either a new IP stack was
implemented or the existing one reworked to make a point of being
desktop, not server, software, and IP forwarding was dropped.

Not that this has anything to do with I/O Completion Ports, most likely.
I assume they're some kind of asynchronous callback mechanism?

Groetjes,
