Here's a shell session of mine on a RaQ2.  It shows the version and the RPM
that owns netstat.

[root@ns /root]# locate netstat
/bin/netstat
/usr/bin/snmpnetstat
/usr/man/man1/snmpnetstat.1
/usr/man/man8/netstat.8
[root@ns /root]# rpm -qf /bin/netstat
net-tools-1.33-2
[root@ns /root]# netstat --version
Linux NET-3 Base Utilities
Source: net-tools 1.33 net-tools@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Bernd Eckenfels)

netstat 1.23 (1997-05-19)

I'd say that's likely.  This is from a RaQ4...or 3, forget which I just
logged into.  =)

[admin admin]$ netstat --version
net-tools 1.57
netstat 1.39 (2000-05-21)

You might be able to find a newer version for the mips processor at
http://rpmfind.net/ (though mips RPMs are hard to find to non-existent a lot
of the time).  I couldn't find the site for the source from google.com.
