OK, I'll admit it. I've been watching people asking about KA9Q TCP/IP
for over a year and thinking: "Boy am I glad I don't need to network
any PCs." :-)

Guess what.

I need to find a UDP/IP protocol suite that I can run on a 386 with a
3Com 503(?) ethernet card to allow someone to write a PC application
that can communicate with an application on a Sun via UDP.

Does the KA9Q stuff provide the hooks I need to write my own PC
application that uses UDP? Is it a socket-style interface?

Does Sun's PC-NFS provide such hooks? I don't need NFS, but I know
that NFS is built on top of UDP. Can I get to the UDP interface?

(Sheepishly)
