there is some VERY small TCP/IP code (6502 assembler) as part of AS/OS65
which as an entire OS fits in something like 20K. The assember code
wouldn't be overly useful in and of itself, but it would be interesting as
an example of how to implement a very small tcp/ip stack. I don't have
the URL off hand for the OS web site, but if anybody is interested I could
find it.
