18 Possible projects for victim^H^H^H^H^Holunteers
20 9. Implementing streams. Not as a blind slow SYS5.4 style copy but actually
21 working out how to do it so it runs like greased lightning. Quite a big
22 problem. [See the LiS project]
24 11. IP over SCSI. [worked on]
26 14. Bidirectional PLIP. Also PLIP for the newer style parallel ports.
28 15. 802.2LLC and thus Netbeui sockets. Becoming less important since the
29 rumour is microsoft are phasing out netbeui for netbios/IP. Microsoft have
30 gone for netbios/funny-ipx-variant it seems in Win95, but TCP is selectable.
32 17. PPP multilink. Another nasty job.
34 19. IPv4 IP-AH and IP-ESP.
36 20. (userspace) GUI interface to the bandwidth allocators so mere
40 BTW: Don't let the magic words 'kernel programming' worry you. Its like DOS
41 - you make a mistake you have to reboot. You do at least get dumps and a
42 kernel logger that is reliable. There is now a loadable module allowing
43 use of gdb on the kernel (no breakpoints though!). No magic involved.
