<----- snip -----> I'm with Jim on this. I was a contractor in the mid to late '90's and came across the early TCPIP stack, written in PASCAL and ported from VM. As I recall it performed OK, and had some quite advanced features like VIPA which was the subject of another recent thread. <----- snip ----->
I installed TCPIP 2.2 or 2.2.1 in November 1992. It was written in PASCAL(/VS?), there were two subsystems: TNF and VMCF (virtual machine communication? facility) because it was a port from VM. Dataset names were hardcoded, so I had problems with our dataset naming standards, messages had no message ids. Somehow I do not remember VIPA at that time, I think it came in 3.3 or 3.4. I believe to remember it was possible to change the MAC address on the 3172. In the release 3.1 or 3.2 there were two FTP servers, one written in C and one in PASCAL(/VS?).
