Z8001 with SysIII, what hardware is that? Sounds a bit like Commodore's
CBM900, but that ran Coherent 0.7.3 or so, was actually fairly snappy for
its time. Coherent roughly resembled Unix System 7. Didn't have an IP
stack.

Hi,
i have an old Z8001 based SysIII variant and I would love to have TCP/IP
on it (SLIP first, later with a homebrew ethernet device).
I wonder if someone ever saw TCP/IP available on a System III?
I have lets say 90% of the kernel running on it as source
available and I started digging in the available 4.2 BSD sources.
It looks like there would be much to do to hack in TCP/IP on my
own (no IPC, no Net, no PTY, no....).
I got K5JB running (userland TCP/IP implementation) after I fixed
some C code because the C Compiler available on the system is..... kinda
limited.
telnetd is of course not working as there are no pseudo-teletypes on this
SYSIII. At least I got ping, echoping and ftpd up and
running via SLIP
(10.1.1.2 is my SysIII box:)

So I wonder if someone got anything SYSIII -> Net/TCP/IP related
which could help me in any way to get a SYSIII kernel capable of TCP/IP and
PTYs to get a telnetd up and running via SLIP is my
first goal.
Regards,
Oliver
