When we did this at SGI, the wakeup1-on-accept as well as wakeup1-on-data
was pretty straightforward. The following people could probably shed more
light on this than I could:

stevea@shastanets.com - Steve Alexander
fisher@sgi.com - Bill Fisher
nn@epigram.com - Neal Nuckolls

I think they all worked on this. Start with Steve.
