Re: A85: Usgard and some other stuff...




I know the IP protocol by heart. I know the TCP protocol by heart. I know
how SLIP works by heart. I know how FTP works by heart. I know how much
memory it would take for a bare bones TCP/IP implementation. It's possible,
but very very difficult. I coult probably write one tomorrow during 3rd
period if i have time (one that uses SLIP, not PPP...PPP is WAY to complex
for a calculator)...However, i've never done linking before, so i'll prolly
put a PIC or AVR in there to interface between the calc and a modem...just
because i'm too lazy to figure out how to do it the right way. :>
