To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if people would feel that a cut down version of
NOS could in any way be useful. I was thinking mainly in terms
of the advantages gained, viz;
1. Small .exe -> possibility of using nice debugger. (see 2 & 3)
2. Small(er) source code volume -> easier for newbies (in NOS, not C)
to get into
3. Small(er) source code volume -> easier to test 'standard' bits of
a new module, such as command line recognition and function call
lookup.
4. Could use proper ANSI C
5. Might be useful for non hams, perhaps in networking course at
a .edu site
I would appreciate what people think, and what is the absolute
minimum that a cutdown NOS could offer. Remember is would not be based
at users, but a NOS hackers. It would purely a 'learning' version of
NOS. As I say this would be based mainly at hams who are familiar
with C, but not with TCP/IP. There must be lots of raw ax25 C-hams
who want to get into NOS.
Comments please
Thanks

Hi!
I have a question:
Is there a packet driver for DE100 Ethernet card by Digital(R)?
Or perhaps I should use some other packet driver, if so - Which one?
This is of great importnce for me.
Thanks in advance,
Ryszard Mikke
