-9. Implementing streams. Not as a blind slow SYS5.4 style copy but actually
-working out how to do it so it runs like greased lightning. Quite a big
-problem. [See the LiS project]
-
-11. IP over SCSI. [worked on]
-
-14. Bidirectional PLIP. Also PLIP for the newer style parallel ports.
-
-15. 802.2LLC and thus Netbeui sockets. Becoming less important since the
-rumour is microsoft are phasing out netbeui for netbios/IP. Microsoft have
-gone for netbios/funny-ipx-variant it seems in Win95, but TCP is selectable.
-
-17. PPP multilink. Another nasty job.
-
-19. IPv4 IP-AH and IP-ESP.
-
-20. (userspace) GUI interface to the bandwidth allocators so mere
- mortals can do this
-
-
-BTW: Don't let the magic words 'kernel programming' worry you. Its like DOS
-- you make a mistake you have to reboot. You do at least get dumps and a
-kernel logger that is reliable. There is now a loadable module allowing
-use of gdb on the kernel (no breakpoints though!). No magic involved.
