Adam, Thanks a lot for the links. Aside from the online resources (which are good, once you find them), I thought I would try to find a good book on the subject, if one was available. I heard mixed reviews of "TCP/IP Lean" (1st ed), but decided to try it anyhow with the 2nd edition & it's extra coverage and updates. Marinetti is a TCP/IP stack with PPP support for the Apple // GS; though I haven't looked at the source code. To do that, requires a real system or an emulator. It's all written in 65816 assembler, so it's pretty "tight", though I don't know the actual code size. The // GS has 256k memory *minimum*, and usually 1 to 8 megs. At some point I will look at the code, though. TCP/IP on an 128k Apple //e will be a challenge, but that is what my ultimate goal is. I have already resigned myself to the fact that it will take a couple months of reading and testing before I'll be comfortable enough to really implement something. The code for the //e will most likely be for use with cc65, and then eventually hand-optimized where possible. Thanks again! // CHRIS > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-cc65_at_musoftware.de [mailto:owner-cc65_at_musoftware.de]On > Behalf Of Adam Dunkels > Sent: Tuesday, December 17, 2002 6:48 PM > To: cc65_at_musoftware.de > Subject: RE: [cc65] PPP and TCP/IP > > > Hi Chris! > > On Tue, 2002-12-17 at 22:10, Chris wrote: > > What is your target O/S / Machine?
