- Daniel Roedding (danny@fiction.ms.sub.org) is currently the only one
- working on the inet stuff. He does IP/ICMP and UDP get to the networking
- started.
- I'm still waiting for him to tell me what is already done :-), because
- I want to start work on the general net interface layer (loadable net
- device drivers and the like) ...

- I suppose your hardware (what is it exactly) is ethernet like, since it
- does ARP. I don't understand how HARDWARE can do IP/ARP/ICMP ITSELF ???
- The protocols should be (kind of) part of the IP layer. Access to your
- hardware should be provided by a net device driver --- which only uses
- the arp, ... routines of the IP layer.
