+      tcpserver waits for incoming connections and, for each connection, runs a
+      program of your choice. Your program receives environment variables
+      showing the local and remote host names, IP addresses, and port numbers.
+
+      tcpserver offers a concurrency limit to protect you from running out of
+      processes and memory. When you are handling 40 (by default) simultaneous
+      connections, tcpserver smoothly defers acceptance of new connections.
+
+      tcpserver also provides TCP access control features, similar to
+      tcp-wrappers/tcpd's hosts.allow but much faster. Its access control rules
+      are compiled into a hashed format with cdb, so it can easily deal with
+      thousands of different hosts.
+
+      This package includes a recordio tool that monitors all the input and
+      output of a server.
+
+      tcpclient makes a TCP connection and runs a program of your choice. It
+      sets up the same environment variables as tcpserver.
+
+      This package includes several sample clients built on top of tcpclient:
+      who@, date@, finger@, http@, tcpcat, and mconnect.
+
+      tcpserver and tcpclient conform to UCSPI, the UNIX Client-Server Program
+      Interface, using the TCP protocol. UCSPI tools are available for several
+      different networks.
