TNOS Features

TNOS is a multi-threaded application that contains a complete implimentation of industry standard TCP/IP with drivers, applications, and support for use in an RF environment, primarily the Amateur Packet Radio environment.

There are two versions, one that runs under MS-DOS/PC-DOS/DR-DOS and any multi-taskers that support virtual DOS boxes, and the other which runs as an application under Linux.

TNOS serves as a good dedicated router, firewall, email exchanger, gateway, etc.
