There's supposed to be a new TCP stack included in AmigaOS 4.0

Whether it will be competitive with MiamiDx remains to be seen.
Considering how many hours it will take to code, debug and document a complete
TCP stack and firewall, I would have thought it would be cheaper for
AmigaInc to buy MiamiDx from Holger for cash.
