[TUHS] TCP/IP on a System III?

[TUHS] TCP/IP on a System III?

[Oliver Lehmann]

Hi,

has someone ever tried to grab the old BSD sources where TCP/IP showed up
first and tried to use them to implement TCP/IP support for an old SYSIII
UNIX (ZEUS comp.)?
I tried this but I got scared by so much things which would need to be
done, inter-process communication, pseudo terminal support are just the
"starting points" and at the end it is also the kinda old C compiler
which has problems with the BSD sources (#defs to long for the cpp for
example)...

Has someone experience with this kind of topic?

[TUHS] TCP/IP on a System III?

I was looking down this road for Xenix as a matter of fact, and looking
through some old news groups they all mention to use the free KA9Q stuff...

<http://www.ka9q.net/code/ka9qnos/>I haven't even begun to look at what
needs to be done.....  But it's my understanding it's all done in user
space.

Yeah, I got this running a year ago on that system but only with SLIP.
Data transfer rates via SLIP are horrible and we are planning to build a 
network card. But for that I definitly want TCP/IP in the kernel. There are 
also chips out which are doing all the TCP/IP and UDP stuff on their own. 
Maybe this is an option too as it for example stresses the system not so 
much which should be good in a matter of performance too.
