Almost right: we keep the link level driver plus IP, ICMP, and ARP/RARP
resident, plus a stripped-down UDP and RPC for NFS. All of the rest -
full UDP, TCP, RPC, XDR, YP, etc. - is linked in to applications.

Some of the TCP is distantly related to PC/IP, but I doubt you'd
recognize it. Does anyone know of ANY recent TCP/IP implementation without
at least a few lines of 4.2BSD in it?

To John's reply of:

I must blush an even deeper shade of crimson: I haven't even submitted ours.
Could someone point me at (or mail me) a template, plus an email address
to send it in?
