Has anyone gotten Coherent working with a TCP/IP Ethernet network? Also, in reply to Frank's question, nothing for sure but I talked to one of the tech support guys at MW and he said maybe by the end of the year for the '386 version. I also know they are trying to get networking up for Coherent by sometime next year, but it would be nice if someone has gotten it going by themselves.

I'm writing some networking stuff for MINIX, and am thinking of making it portable (specifically to coherent.) I'll be doing IP and SLIP, probably as user processes since I understand coherent does not come with kernel sources. The basic objective is a stripped-down IP implementation, with limited support for stuff like routing, and certainly no extras like ARP or RARP. I'll probably do ICMP as well, but not immediately. If someone would like to collaborate, I sure could use it. Ideally, two more people - one to do TCP and one to do UDP - and we'd be in business. Of course, implementing network software in user space is kinda crazy, but I think it's ok for something like slip. named pipes for IPC, etc. Let's get some traffic going on this group!! -rens rt2@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu rens@spiff.ai.mit.edu
