Thank you. Unless you are a very familiar with drivers, C language and
networking, owning a native hardware with ethernet - I have no idea what
you could do.

Even digging QLwIP out, making myself familiar with it again, and
introduce someone else costs so much time that we'd have to forget the
other projects I mentioned.

Software emulators use the TCP/IP stack of their Windows/Linux host, so
don't need QLwIP.

Original QL and QXL have no ethernet hardware, they could use QLwIP with
SLIP over the serial line, but that's not of much practical use.

About Amiga/Atari emulators I have no idea. I doubt there is even a
single user who would use internet on that.
