Anyway, I now have the OSF/1 "ping" binary working on loopback (well, it
_seems_ to work fine), and "telnet loopback" gives "Connection refused",
which all looks like the basics are ok. But I can't talk to the rest of
the world yet, though, as I haven't bothered doing the checksum code.
David M-T: you had something working and optimized already? I wouldn't
mind using something that is already there..
So far, the 32/64 bit stuff doesn't look too bad: getting ping up and
running was essentially a matter of getting the linux ifconfig/route
binaries compiled and running after having changed the "struct
sockaddr_in" to use a 32-bit value instead of "unsigned long". People
who have followed my normal patches may have noticed that I did this for
tcp sequence numbers earlier.
