WATTCP programs generally start by calling sock_init() Sock_init() will exit
the program if a packet driver is not found. If your program might have some
useful purpose without TCP/IP
I noted that FDNPKG is using WatTCP - I don't see that as a problem.
While I prefer mTCP and I think it has many advantages (speed, size, bug
fixes, etc.) WatTCP works well enough and people are comfortable with
it. I also have a slight bias, so I am trying to be objective. ; - 0
