The plan is to implement it as a user space process, if I understand the developers right. You could either try to add TCP/IP support to ELKS or you could try out Minix: http://www.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix.html Minix supports NE2000, TCP/IP, several users and some memory protection on the 80286.

Re: your mail
I think a userspace process for networking is the right answer here. Keep the kernel small. cristi At 09:43 AM 6/13/00 +0200, Jakov af Wallby wrote: On Mon, 12 Jun 2000, Emilio Joel Macias Gomez wrote: hello i dont speak english very well but i do my best i want use the ELKS in my 286 machine with one ethernet card ne2000 and i don't know make this.

Re: Adding networking to the ELKS basic install kit
I would rather wait for a solid kernel and then add networking. I think networking should be a module as you don't need networking everywhere. Biulding it modular you can deal with limited resources. cristi At 10:20 PM 6/12/00 -0400, Gregg C Levine wrote: Hello from Gregg C Levine usually with Jedi Knight Computers Just out of curiosity, has someone come up with the idea for networking for ELKS.

That makes sense, as the 64k limit won't stretch much further. As for NIC drivers, I think a good strategy would be to recycle the packet drivers Crynwyr provides. They're all GPL anyhow, right? I think that the packet driver model, while it does have performance bottlenecks, is good enough for what ELKS is supposed to do. We're trying to multitask and network on a real-mode processor with at most 640K of RAM... -- Rafael R.
