TCP/IP stack?!  Do you know how big that is?  You may have to wait for
TI-92+ or implement only on the TI-92 II.  Oh well, have fun creating it.
Please let me know when you have it done.  I've thought about doing the
TCP/IP myself, but I got sidetracked with my current project.

By the way, don't stop this project just because other people don't find it
interesting or possible.  To quote Jonas Minnberg, "Are you kidding? A
BBS-program for a calculator? Whats the point?!"  What's the point for any
of the stuff we do on these calculators?

In short, JUST DO IT.  (my apologies to Nike)


PS: Jonas, I merely quoted.  No personal attack was intended.
