with your fancy little Apple IIgs in the back room, you can use GS/TCP
to implement a standard BSD socket interface, allowing you to connect
via SLIP, MacIP, and soon PPP on a GNO/ME (GNO Multitasking
Environment) UNIX system for the IIgs, now completely abandoned,
open-sourced and labeled freeware. GS/TCP also comes with ftp and
inetd, built with ORCA/C directly from BSDi sources (hacked, of
course,) and a text web browser for GNO/ME can be found at the
website."

BTW... I just barely missed fr1st ps0t :D

Cool. I've always thought GNO/ME had a lot of potential. Especially if it
could be separated from GSOS (which is good in it's own way too). If it
could be modified to work with an ethernet card then a lot more can be done (eg. LAN, Cable, DSL connections).

Later

It has truely amazed me that this has made it to Slashdot as a valid
news item.
I guess it doesnt help that Derek's page has no dates on it.
Someone looking at the his pages for the first time could be forgiven
for thinking that it was new.

If you want to have something that is available then check out
