Great :-)

Indeed.

As you can imagine this is already stripped very far (i.e. without
ICMP / ping). There are only few bytes left to gain. You could however
change the way you get the bytes into RAM. Maybe on the Apple2 the
monitor would be preferable to BASIC. On the other hand you'd have to
abandon the checksum checks then - which were quite useful to me.
Although I did it very carefully, I had three typos...

Anyway I personally think it's worth being ported - and integrated
into ADTPro, doesn't it?

Best, Oliver
