-Well, unless there is more of a demand than when I last mentioned it,

I think that an implementation of tcp/ip for Minix is important
enough that you should post it even if it's 3.5Mb.  350K is
small compared to the 40-part postings one sees from time to
time in the sources newsgroups.  I say go for it!  Who agrees
with me?
