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.

Elks Networking

1999-04-12 Thread Joseph Dunn

Hello,

I noticed that someone mentioned that he was starting work on the TCP/IP
stuff for Elks. There is a webpage which lists tons of relevant TCP/IP and
networking stuff. It's at www.qnx.com/~mphunter/tcpip_resources.html. It's
pretty interesting.

Not really.  The linux driver is WAY to big to fit in ELKS.  Even the
minix driver (which is made for small memory machines), takes around 50k,
iirc.  It would need to be a very small driver, such as the one used in
etherboot.  This was what I based some of my code on.

I'd like to help, but I really am not a skilled programmer. I was
wondering if it would be possible to port Linux's TCP/IP software to
ELKS. If there's any way I can help, I'd be glad to.

ELKS Networking

1999-04-12 Thread Luke(boo) Farrar


I've finally started work on ELKS TCP/IP.

So far I've been making an ne2000 driver, but I've got some books and
stuff and I think its do-able.

Does anyone want to help?
