[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] KA9Q TCP-IP stripped-down version available?

psm@manta.NOSC.MIL (Scot Mcintosh) (09/29/89)

I have heard a rumor that a stripped-down version of the KA9Q packet
radio package is available.  Supposedly this version has ftp, telnet,
etc. removed, and is for people who want to build their own
applications on top of TCP-IP.  Anyone heard of this and know where I
could get a copy of the source on the Internet?  Thanks in advance.

I too would be very interested in such a beast.  We are currently using 
FTP Software's socket stuff and I'd like to see what else is available.
Ta very much.

I don't know what you mean by "stripped down version". My code is written
with an eye towards modularity, so it's pretty easy to leave out what you
don't want. There are already lots of #ifdefs (too many, actually, for
my aesthetics) that allow you to turn off unwanted portions of the code.

I keep snapshots of my current work on flash.bellcore.com (128.96.32.20)
in /pub/ka9q. The source is src.arc (PKARC format archive) and the executable
I run is in net.exe.

Once again, this code is free for noncommercial use only.
