-
- I-Net 225 and AS225 are the BSD 4.3 networking stack, plus selected
- enhancements from BSD 4.4 (NetBSD). R2.0 will be based around NetBSD 1.1.
-
- What counts in the real world is support. More folks have been
- supporting AS225 longer than anything else -- and I-Net 225 is
- 100% compatible. There are likely more installed systems with
- AmiTCP today -- but maybe not in six months.
