If I was going to replace the IP stack, I'd want to implement a protocol for
MPTS and then re-implement the TCP/IP apps.

The protocol would have two parts, the MPTS interface, and a ported BSD stack.
The TCP/IP apps would be a pretty straight-forward port.

All the other pieces -- network drivers and the MPTS plumbing, ought to work. I
have no idea how this would play with NetBIOS over TCP/IP -- but that's already
being replaced by SAMBA in eComStation.
