Hi,

But existing code can be used, yes? So one could load up a 486 with a
Linux distro including POP3 IMAP SMTP NNTP FTP IRC HTTP Gopher apps, and
be done. Much easier than trying to get a tcp stack working on some of
the others.
That's too easy, I ran Linux on a 486 for years.
I also ran KA9Q tcp/ip over packet radio on a 386 with MSDOS for quite a
while (and I think I've still got the disks somewhere), does that count
as "online"?
