We create applications for systems running a real-time operating system very closely based on XINU. We are now interested in "opening" up the systems, by linking to networks using media such as Ethernet, and also by providing X-Windows graphical interfaces (see following article). For this, it seems TCP/IP is crucial. We have studied "Internetworking with XINU" carefully, and would like to know if anyone has fully implemented TCP for XINU. Is there an evolving body of XINU-based TCP software somewhere? Does anyone who has implemented TCP have any words of wisdom for how long it would take to get a fast version up and running for our real-time applications? How big is the executable code? How much processing power would it take (approximately, 16 bit 68000).

Working with Doug Comer, I've done a version of TCP, and a full Internet gateway for Xinu which is described in detail in the book "Internetworking with TCP/IP, Volume II" by Douglas Comer and David L Stevens available in April from Prentice-Hall. Prentice-Hall will also be distributing the published version of the source code in the near future. In addition, a group of grad students here at Purdue has ported a fully-functional X server to my version of TCP, but I'm not sure about its availability at the moment. To get a distribution price list and complete information on what versions are available, you can send a request to: "xinu-librarian@cs.purdue.edu" Updated lists are posted to "comp.os.xinu" periodlically too. -- +-DLS (dls@mentor.cc.purdue.edu)
