How many people out there with a MM/1 want some networking support?
Like a socket library, file manager, device descriptors, daemons, etc. for
SLIP, PPP, TCP/IP????  I will begin working on the SLIP drivers over christmas.
So people will be able to test the stuff before I put it out for the rest of the
world.  Note, I am starting with SLIP since I can get SLIP here at CATT in
about 4 nanoseconds (Catsrv> c slip 152.1.43.???) <grin>

I will move to the parallel port TCP/IP things later... or let someone else
do it :-)  The possiblity exists for SCSI adapters, but there will some
trouble in getting the drivers through to the SCSI buss with Carl writing
them or buying the d*mn port pack... a published standard for interfacing
the scsi_mm1d/a subroutine module would indeed speed things up, I don't really
care at this point as finding a SCSI adapter is very low.

Also note this is not the NET/ka9q crap... this is true to god networking...
inetd, tcpd, ftpd, telnetd, talkd, etc. with the appropriate socket library
to allow user program generation (ncftp ??)

PS: Anyone interested in beta testing the SLIP interface, drop me a line.
I'll try to have something ready for testing in January.
