uIP - Irving-Irving Software

Serve Web Pages over a 19200 bps Serial Connection!

A new port of uIP, a TCP/IP stack for systems with limited processing power and memory, was showcased at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 1.0 at Purdue University in July, 2005. The new port of uIP was shown running on a DEC Rainbow 100 personal computer under MS-DOS 3.10b. The version of uIP on the 'bow was serving webpages through a SLIP connection to a Linux machine.

This version of uIP was modified to run through a FOSSIL driver (Fido-Opus-Seadog Standard Interface Layer). The port should run on any machine capable of running a FOSSIL driver.

Requirements:

MS-DOS Compatible OS (including DR-DOS, FreeDOS, possibly OS/2)
Revision 5 FOSSIL driver (DECCOMM, X00, BNU all work)
A Host computer with a SLIP driver
Null Modem Cable

At this time routing over the network from the web server through the SLIP gateway machine does not appear to work. This problem will be fixed in the future with an upgrade to the uIP 0.9 baseline code. Furthermore, COM1 is currently hardcoded.

The uIP executable was compiled using the Open Watcom compiler suite, targeting 16-bit DOS. If you wish to make changes to the code, it is highly recommended that you use the Open Watcom compiler as it is still supported and free.
