I am currently working on a project to connect an AT&T 7300 to a host via an Ethernet cable. The problem I'm having is that the ROM space in the 7300 is very small. What I need is a reduced tcp-ip or a tiny tcp-ip to handle this problem. I thank anyone who can help me with my problem in advance. Send response to cs175111@csusac.ecs.csus.edu This is the first time I have posted on this newsnet so sorry if I make some errors.

I thank anyone who can help me with my problem in advance. I don't understand the reference to "small" ROM space; the system supports up to 4MB (or 8MB) RAM and > 300MB HD; not bad for a circa-1985 10MHz 68010. In any event, the AT&T 7300 is also known as the 3B1, and questions such as this are best directed to comp.sys.3b1 where you'll get a LOT of help! :-) Ethernet exists for the 3B1 (I have many connected on my net) as does StarLAN. The Ethernet is the WIN/3B TCP/IP 802.3a-1988 10BASE2 10Mbit/S, and the StarLAN is 802.3e-1988 1BASE5 1Mbit/S over twisted-pair. Several people, myself included, have ported portions of the 4.3BSD "Tahoe" networking software suite to the 3B1/7300 and some of this can be found at osu-cis (aka cheops.cis.ohio-state.edu [IP 128.146.8.62]) and (soon) in the comp.sources.3b1 newsgroup. I also have copies of the 3B1/7300 Device Driver Development Guide (from AT&T) available at cost for anyone interested; either send email (see sig below) or browse the comp.sys.3b1 newsgroup.
