I'm sorry about all my clueless questions here, but I i'd really like to know There was some effort started a while ago, but I think that seeing as we have not heard anything in a very long time, it is safe to assume that the effort has stalled.

I'm sorry about all my clueless questions here, but I i'd really like to know You have right to be confused :-) There is no (public) TCP/IP for ELKS project and never was one. There were only few people claiming they would do something but have vanished without a trace (or with some excuse). People were enthusiastic about TCP stack but (IMO) noone got anywhere near. No1 released their work so others could contribute so that makes me think that they haven't achieved anything. But it is free project, no1 was paying them so no1 can blame them for quitting. I agree with them, ELKS in 2000 makes much less sense than it would in 1996 .. and that's the main reason some of them stopped from what i know. Development of ELKS was similar to ln function .. it was progressing quickly at he beginning but almost completely stopped later. That's why i said the other day that ELKS (as a project) is dead. ELKS (as source) is still avaliable to public and should remain that way. bye, Ab

There were only few people claiming they would do something but have vanished without a trace (or with some excuse). Or both, like myself, for which I apologise. The excuse was that due to problems at school (A-Level's, not getting kicked out etc.) I didn't have time to do anything, and this stands for another 2 months. At the time I wanted to help with networking stuff and started on some stuff which was never released (didn't get very far, and so your asumption that little was achived is correct). People were enthusiastic about TCP stack but (IMO) noone got anywhere near. Enthusiastic is right. I'm still enthusiastic about it, and I'd love to help, but both then and now I just don't have the time. I'm not going to make any promises of TCP/IP stacks and telnet clients, but I really would like to help, and hopefully, when my exams are over, I can help play with this stuff. No1 released their work so others could contribute so that makes me think that they haven't achieved anything. See above...

ELKS (as source) is still avaliable to public and should remain that way. Put your hand up if you actually use ELKS. Put your hand up if you've learnt from ELKS. I know that I fall into the later of these two catagories, and I'm guessing that most people do as well. As far as I am concerned ELKS is just as useful as it was a couple of years ago. Luke Farrar.
