At my suggestion MIT put "andrew-help" into /etc/services.

Finally CMU has changed the port name from help.

Unfortunately, they have named it "andrewhelp".  That's right, no, hyphen.

It turns out that we have dedicated the same port number, so even if our
help name does not match, the default port number will work.

Would some kind soul modify /etc/services for the next release so that
the socket name for Andrew help is "andrewhelp"?

Sigh.
