- Peter, a better idea is to buy a commercial stack, which usually loads a
- as a TSR. They usually have a documented API, or even a development kit
- with the relevent routines to interface to it. That way you can write
- your own pascal code or assembler to stuff registers and do an interrupt
- (or whatever mechanism they use to interface to the TSR), which is FAR
- easier than re-writing a TCP stack inside your application. All of the
- common commercial stacks have documented APIs...
