A question for linux-8086 list readers:
With such OS vendors as QNX looking to become at least
partially open, do you think there is a space in the
embedded systems marketplace for an open source 16-bit
processor Linux variant (like ELKS) with TCP/IP protocol
stack? Could you ever imagine that

After all, there exists MINIX and open-source 11Kb kernels
for microcontrollers with TCP/IP stack and all...
11K with tcp/ip - I've not seen that. 11K core oh and its 30K for TCP minimum
but we didnt tell you until you asked I have seen ;)

Indeed. Just because you have a fast Alpha or i686 doesn't
stop the pleasure of hacking with an old Z80

Have you seen WebACE?

It does bit-banging-serial, SLIP, TCP, IP, ICMP, HTTP, dynamically
more complex.
