5.1 is less buggy, and supports DNS (5.0 had to have YP to resolve
names, bletch)

there's also an lpr client with it, which is nice, and they've made
mt a seperate command, you can't use nfsconf to mount disks.

The graphics under windoze are now more cluttered (feeping creaturitis :-/ )
but it works just the same as 5.0 under ms-dog, exept that you can use DNS!

overall, it's better, shame they went stupid on the windoze telnet client,
or there'd be no steps backwards at all.
