PCP-IP?
There was the comercial version, and then some guys at The Austin Code Works advertised in
Dr. Dobbs, started selling disks to those of us without access to the internet archives.
I bought all kinds of cool stuff from them, there moto was 'source code, of

PCP-IP was the tcpip stack from Carnegie Mellon, it compiled just fine with MSC and
TurboC, and drivers for Novell ethernet boards. this was '86-87

Hey I ran several FIDONet BBSes with links to NA-Net, and CRS, etc
If govts keep up with trying to overly police the net, we may just go back to BBSes yet.
