Yes, definitely. Just imagine the following situational parameters:

- TCP/IP networking is currently associated with C in the heads of
  just about everyone you want to convince, right?

- TCP/IP is running the internet, even MS has switched to TCP/IP.

- There is nothing to show, no rationale, no specifics, no programs,
  on sourceforge. O.K., there are no grandiloquent plans either,
  which is good.

- It is not easy to see the idea, it can't be that Ada is so much
  better? Or is it? How, specifically, does it improve existing
  implementations? What will the savings be?

- Is it easier to write networking programs in Ada using AdaBIND instead
  of bindings to existing software? Can C programs use AdaBIND?
