My recollection was that it performed quite well. In mid 90's I did some
tweaking of the FTP client & Server (VS/Pascal, PL/X and assembler) to

up to and pass InterLink's FTP. I later made similar improvements to IBM's
newer FTP Server (written in C, PL/X and assembler).

It was my understanding the original VM TCPIP was largely based on
WISCNET's (Univ of Wisconsin) Pascal code (Vax?).


I'm with Jim on this. I was a contractor in the mid to late '90's and came
across the early TCPIP stack, written in PASCAL and ported from VM. As I
recall it performed OK, and had some quite advanced features like VIPA
which was the subject of another recent thread. The Cisco man at the
scottish bank I worked was quite impressed.
