This is a very interesting conversation. I am working on porting Arachne
to the Datalight TCP/IP Stack, SOCKETS. SOCKETS is a TSR TCP/IP stack and
has a WINSOCKv2 compatible interface.
What has been said about Arachne utilizing WATTCP and the issues behind
writing TCP/IP applications with WATTCP are true.
Hopefully, I will be able to post some new news here soon about my progress
in porting Arachne.
