It's called Marinetti, and it's a TCP/IP stack for the IIGS. It's
freeware, the source is open source, it supports SLIP and PPP, it's been
available for quite a few years, and there's been Marinetti-aware
software released for ftp, e-mail, telnet, ping, finger, chat, and for
AOL's Instant Messaging.
 
For that matter, Spectrum Internet Suite (a IIGS web browser) really
benefits from TCP/IP's error correction, when used after establishing a
TCP/IP connection with Marinetti to the net, and then Telnet'ing to the
ISP.
