Subject: Re: BEEB Stuff / TCP/IP stack

The company I work for (www.livedevices.com) has just released a TCP/IP
stack for the PIC18 family.... core library fits in ~15k of code, <0.5k
RAM. So, it should be easy (!) to do it on a beeb...

Oh. Yes, PPP is more difficult.... guess who wrote the PIC implementation?
;-)

As for a stack, it would be pretty straightforward to put together PPP
(little point doing SLIP because very few ISPs support it now (although
it's extremely trivial), IP, TCP+UDP+ICMP on a beeb - all that RAM/ROM
space!!
