We've been talking with various Ethernet vendors (Interlan, CMC,
Excelan, etc.) concerning implementing Ethernet on our 80286 Multibus
box under UNIX System V. Software-wise they'll give us a "socket
library", TCP/IP, a driver, and the BSD applications. All the pieces
are there; it's the "socket library" that has me a bit confused. 4.2
BSD implements sockets in the kernel. I presume the socket library gives
the same functionality, but I don't see how. Can anyone that has this
kind of library tell me what it actually does?
Is there a public-domain socket-type library?
We've heard a lot about SLIP, and we're thinking about puting SLIP on
another machine of ours. Does SLIP use 4.2 type sockets?
As always, thanks in advance.
