Subject: [TUHS] System III - TCP/IP
Message-ID: <20151107200358.Horde.M1lYZZyTC4t0Qb8KrygKzhy@avocado.salatschuessel.net>

Hi,

i have an old Z8001 based SysIII variant and I would love to have
TCP/IP on it (SLIP first, later with a homebrew ethernet device).

I wonder if someone ever saw TCP/IP available on a System III?

I have lets say 90% of the kernel running on it as source
available and I started digging in the available 4.2 BSD sources.

It looks like there would be much to do to hack in TCP/IP on my
own (no IPC, no Net, no PTY, no....).

I got K5JB running (userland TCP/IP implementation) after I fixed
some C code because the C Compiler available on the system is.....
kinda limited.

telnetd is of course not working as there are no pseudo-teletypes
on this SYSIII. At least I got ping, echoping and ftpd up and
running via SLIP

(10.1.1.2 is my SysIII box:)

# ping -c3 10.1.1.2

So I wonder if someone got anything SYSIII -> Net/TCP/IP related
which could help me in any way to get a SYSIII kernel capable of
TCP/IP and PTYs to get a telnetd up and running via SLIP is my
first goal.

Oliver
