- I'm looking for suggestions of TCP/IP products available in
- source-code form in embedded environments as well as MS-DOS. Our
- requirements are (briefly):
-
- - must support multiple interfaces per host (i.e.
- 'multi-homing' as defined by the rfc's), but does not
- require full routing capabilities.
-
- - fairly small (I'll take what I can get, though).
-
- - supported (I'd really only consider commercial solutions in
- other words).
-
- - source-licensable for development, binary licensable for
- distribution with a product. Pricing is negotiable.
-
- - 'standard' API (i.e. Berkeley sockets preferred, TLI second
- choice). Since this will be running inside of a DOS
- virtual-machine under Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode,
- there is no hard requirement for the API to be available to
- other Windows &/or DVM processes, but would that would be
- nice.
-
- - 'standard' network interface, preferably Crynwr (Clarkson)
- packet driver, but NDIS or ODI will do.
-
- So far I've played with KA9Q's NOS, but it's kind of buggy, large, and
- is really starting to look hacked up. Also, its lack of real support
- and unclear licensing really rules it out for serious consideration.
-
- We're also talking with Interactive about their StreamWare/TCP, which
- provides a System V compatible STREAMS environment, is supported, and
- source and binary licensable. But it's a little expensive, and I'd
- really like to find out what else is available.
-
- Please email responses to pearce@hook.corp.mot.com - I will summarize
- to the net if requested.
-
- Thanks for your time,
-
- Mike
