[comp.os.coherent] TCP/IP KA9Q stuff

Oooof!!  Hey everybody, I didn't mean Coherent was at fault 'cause
the TCP/IP (KA9Q code) wouldn't compile.  Over half of the problem
is my own 'hurry up and get it working' attitude.

What it is:
The KA9Q TCP/IP code is real TCP/IP for PC's and other computers
(amiga, mac, unix etc).  It uses SLIP (serial line ip), ethernet
(3COM 501 boards), or packet radio terminal node controllers.  The
source is mostly in C, there is some assembly mostly in the drivers
for specific boards.  Yes it maybe quite possible to put Coherent
systems on a standard ethernet with your Sun, Vax, HP, or whatever
using something like PPP maybe even get NFS running!

I am working on more recently.

Other stuff

I was offered Coherent 3.2 upgrade.  They told me 3.2 was shipping,
but the upgrade would be a week or 2.  The 3.2 upgrade also contains
additional SCSI drivers (Future Domain, and something else, I got 
future domain, so that is all I care about).  There were bug fixes, 
but that is all I remember.

All the other groups ship code around (source) so I would like to
get stuff from folks here (unless it is 800MB).  FTP sites are ok
for the stuff I never kept.
