TCP/IP and Networking Discussion

I was wondering about how the networking features are developing for FUZIX, as I recently bought a PicoCalc and am eager to develop some kind of usable setup with a Pico W inside and maybe ssh. Please tell me if this will be possible in the future.

I believe the wiznet people at some point posted some glue for the W5500 to the Pico and Fuzix but they never actually bothered to submit anything. Providing it's using a Wiznet it should be trivial because the support is there to use it for most things (it's not a full stack on the wiznet so funky stuff isn't possible). ssh might be a bit painful - not sure how fast a Pico could do all the crypto handshaking. Certainly on the old 8bit micros thats the fundamental problem with a lot of stuff - https handshakes take far too long to be viable etc.

For the Pico-W someone would need to sort out the networking glue and device bits, so would be a fairly big job.

mm, ok. thanks for the response

one other thing: is there a text editor similar to nano in fuzix?

I guess ue is probably closest as a simple editor

alright, thank you
