/prog/ - My small TCP/IP stack C library for DOS

Name: Anonymous 2013-08-20 17:07

If anybody wants to know how a functional TCP/IP can be written, I thought I'd share what I wrote. I actually made it for DOS to play with getting vintage machines online, but it could easily be used as the stack for some kind of new OS or similar.

This server: http://8088.rubbermallet.org:81 is running an HTTP server powered by my stack, and hosts the source code. 10 MHz baby!

Thank you for your contribution. Not that I have any computer running DOS, but seeing a functional implementation is interesting enough.

How long did it take you?

It took about 2 months.

I don't get it. Are you trying to imitate /g/ros?

Someone please work on irony layer theory. Are all the elements of the multilayer group of order 2?

Pretty much I just wanted to learn how to write a TCP/IP stack. DOS is a good place to do that because I can get direct access to a packet driver easily, and I kinda have a thing for old ass computers. Nostalgia!

Nice to see there are still some people with motivation for things like this. Your average teena/g/er would make some shitty Twitter clone or some stupid crap like that.

Props to you, good sir.

Yes. Post it to HN or have someone post it for you. You can make a pseudonymous account without too much hassle. But first, mirror the page somewhere or your 10MHz server will collapse under the load.

Did you post it to Hacker Jews yet, OP?

You've made a grave mistake, OP.

You've posted on an anonymous board.

We are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget.

Consider yourself ruined from this point on.

I am not OP and submitted it to hackaday. They have ignored me so far (a couple of days, I think). Apparently "Unplayable Holophonor replica is unplayable" and hackaday's FASCINATING "projects that didn't work" column are more interesting than an actual technical accomplishment. Maybe if OP had 3D printed a toothpick they'd be more interested.

Good fucking god.

At least OP has our appreciation.
