In my country Kenya (East Africa) some people still use 80186 and 80286 so
16-bit linux products are of immense interest. Right now I am working on a
project to develop a networking-centric kernel for a 80286. Could you please
send me that extremely slim tcp/ip code that you referred to.

Have you seen WebACE?
http://world.std.com/~fwhite/ace/
It does bit-banging-serial, SLIP, TCP, IP, ICMP, HTTP, dynamically
generated web pages, and controlling an external port based on the URL
submitted to it in 454 instructions on an 8 pin microcontroller!
Okay, so it's not exactly a general purpose OS with a TCP/IP stack, and
the stack is far from RFC compliant (there isn't enough RAM for that), but
it's very cool just the same (and it isn't a joke either- I have the
source code).
