-
- That depends on how strict you use the definition of "other", since one can
- argue that AmiTCP is so heavily based on NetBSD TCP/IP code that it is the
- same. Furthermore, AmiTCP was released to the public a lot earlier than
- I-Net 225. And that's what counts in the real world.
-
- But I don't mind a bit of competition for AmiTCP. That won't hurt anybody.
