I personally think it could more productive to go after app specific tools for Google [1], Facebook [2], Twitter [3], LinkedIn [4], etc. For example, Facebook is entirely accessible over HTTP [5]. > - LapLink is still purchase-ware > * Has a specific protocol via LPT ports, etc > * PPP/PPPD in linux is open source... possible use of that? > * If not... let's write fdlink :) David Dunfield has LAPTALK, DDLINK & RDC [6]. If LAPTALK (source in MC323EXA) isn't sufficient, maybe he'd be willing to open source DDLINK and/or RDC? > * e1000 drivers (Gigabit)? 10/100? Tom Ehlert [7] & Georg Potthast [8] have gigabit NIC drivers. Dave Dunfield [9] has a nice collections as well. Georg & Dave also have nice NIC detection utils.
