PC/IP had no TSR driver. Its TCP and other protocols could be linked
into any small memory model application, but that application then had
to contend with the tasking package.

PC/IP's spiritual successor, FTP Software's PC/TCP, does have a TSR
kernel with TCP and other basic network protocols available through a
software interrupt interface. That interface is non-proprietary, and
is documented in the developer's kit. I believe that Wollongong's
WIN/PC should have some kind of TSR interface, and that the UMD code
does, but I don't know any details about these.
