[openbeosnetteam] Re: Netstack status...

Good stuff guys!!!

The Network Stack (as of yesterday) runs properly on my BeOS without
crashing...

I promise I'll get stuck into some coding very soon... Off on holliday on
the weekend for a few days, and will read up about networking stack issues I
am not so certain upon!!!


Regards,

Cain
