[FWD: A small TCP/IP/ICMP stack]

[Michael A Hamblin <michaelh@utdallas.edu>]

Hello there,

Looks like subcribing to the ELKS list was a good idea after all, though
it's really to early to say anything :)

Basically this message below was posted to the ELKS list with information
about a TCP stack for ELKS which is still under development. I have
sent mail to the author to ask a few questions about what this small stack
may be capable of in terms of running ELKS on XTs/ATs and using them
basically as terminals. I am hoping that a telnet program can be ported to
ELKS and possibly a mail reader such as pine and a text based web browser
such as lynx in the future, though the latter are probably a little ways
down the road.

And, of course, we must make things confusing, so you'll note that both
his and my user name is 'michaelh' :)

Subject: A small TCP/IP/ICMP stack

Hi.  There was some talk a few months ago about designing a TCP stack for
ELKS.  If anybodys interested, I've uploaded the latest copy of my TCP
stack to 

http://www.pcmedia.co.nz/~michaelh/

ttcp was used as a reference, but this stack contains no code from ttcp.
It currently supports TCP, IP, ICMP (well, ping at least :), and can work
over SLIP or PPP links.  It's still alpha software, but someone might be
interested.
