I tried to email to uunet!ax!marcio, but apparantly uunet doesn't know about ax. So I'm posting.

I can't mail you the function call interface because I think it is copyrighted and that would violate my license. However, I can tell you that it has a berkeley 4.2/4.3 BSD socket interface including select. If you want to write a tighter program on DOS you can access the pc/tcp routines directly. It looks pretty rich. I think that if you give them a call you can get some literature on what all the routines are. We searched last year for tcpip on DOS and this is what we came up with after checking all the manufactures (like wollongong, etc.). I don't think they have a unix product. On SCO unix we are using SCO's product which is really fron Lachman Associates (LAI).

They want to charge a per-machine license fee of around $200 for every copy of your product built using the library that you sell or give away. And they seem to be extremely inflexable about the situation. I called in regards to another client a few months ago and a collegue called yesterday and the story is the same. The only deviation the sales geek mentiones is that if one buys many, many copies at once, the site license price is $75.00 ea. Which still has no relavence to developers. Until they get their act togehter and/or they get some real competition, (wollingong does about the same crap), developers will be better off taking something like PC/IP or ncsa TELNET and hacking out a library from it - or writing one of your own. The packet driver interface makes the task pretty easy.
