We received TCP/IP from AT&T the other day, and installed it on our
SysVRel3.0 3B2 (osu-cis).  It did one bad thing to us during the
installation: We were already running smail2.5 and had an aliases file
for it.  The TCP/IP installation provides sendmail along with most of
the other BSD networking tools, and in the process of installing
itself, it wiped out our aliases file with its own prototype aliases
file.  Beware of this if your aliases file is long and important to
you.
