But the system that Emacs is running on is your FreeBSD system, right?
Please try the example code in the Emacs on FreeBSD.

Whee.  This is getting quite interesting.  I have -current at home,
but I haven't tested the code, yet.  Lessee now.  [time passes]  Hm.
It says it sent and received 1000 bytes.

Also, the code is real quick.  So maybe it's a good idea to make this
test at load time, after all?  I didn't realize it would be that
fast.  Hm.  No, we can't do the test at load time, since some systems
(Windows...) might not have wc.  Darn.
