                     18: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     19: The \fIisore\fR program is used to correct a deficiency in the 4.2
                     20: Berkeley UNIX implementation of TCP/IP.
                     21: In short,
                     22: the SIGIO signal for asynchronous notification of socket activity is not
                     23: implemented.
                     24: If a transport\-descriptor is marked as being asynchronous
                     25: (the TSAP-provider can initiate INDICATION events at any time),
                     26: then this capability is necessary.
                     27: The \fIisore\fR program is spawned automatically when one or more
                     28: transport\-descriptors are marked for asynchronous INDICATIONs.
                     29: It monitors the TCP/IP traffic, as efficiently as possible,
                     30: and sends the SIGEMT signal to the program when the network would generate
                     31: an N\-DATA.INDICATION event.
                     32: The program catches this signal and performs the appropriate action.
                     33: .PP
                     34: This program is mostly likely obsolete on 4.3BSD and SVR3 systems.
