- I'm sure this is the wrong place to post this, but hopefully someone
- here can help.
-
- I recently started using SLIP (the SLIP8250 driver (Clarkson) and NCSA
- telnet) and realized that the packet driver must have some interface
- that I could use to write an NNTP front end. The telnet program I'm
- using has an SMTP...
-
- I could, and will, if necessary, digest the source to the telnet program
- and see how this all works, but that would be weeks. What I'm hoping is
- that someone has a spec for the driver that I could have a copy of.
-
- Am I being too hopeful in thinking that there's such a simple interface?
- Do I need to do all the packet work myself?
-
- Any help or pointers would be MUCH appreciated. This is an area that I know
- very little about, but would like to learn. Digging through source is a
- start, but someone's pointing finger usually helps :-)
