Well, what can i say. I submitted this (for the fourth time in a year)
to comp.sources.amiga some time ago. Just about that time the 
list froze up. I have a theory about comp.sources.amiga stewardship, 
and that is that it is a tiring enough job that it freezes the 
moderator up completely. The last time i tried to ship a version 
of Karn's tcp/ip with amiga mods was a year ago, and it still has not
made it out! D*mn! 
   Anyway the tcp/ip that may some year appear on comp.sources.amiga
is nowhere near as good as Ameristar's, but it is fun to use. And
a friend has put KA9Q on some very weird sys. v-like boxes, so 
there is no question that amigatcp can talk to sys v boxes. And, 
of course, amigatcp talks slip, which ameristar has not (yet ...) released. 
   If only it could get distributed. 
   sigh.

P.S. for the adventurous the BSD tcp/ip is now freely redistributable 
      (BUT NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN!)
