"UNIX Type: L8  	A standard UNIX based server. This is the most common
value returned by servers, and this indicates that the server supports
UNIX file naming and directory listing conventions. This string may
also include additional information such as the specific variant of
UNIX and its version. The L8 portion of the string is a convention
that lets the client know that a byte consists of 8 bits."
