Ka9qKA9Q, also called KA9Q NOS or simply NOS, was a popular early implementation of TCP-IP and associated protocols for amateur packet radio systems and smaller personal computers connected via serial lines. It was named after the callsign of Phil Karn, a radio ham who first wrote it for a CP/M system and then ported it to DOS on the IBM PC when DOS was still the standard PC operating system. KA9Q was later maintained by Anthony Frost (callsign G8UDV) and Adam Goodfellow . It was ported to the Acorn Archimedes by Jonathan Naylor (G4KLX). Until 1995 it was the standard access software provided by British dial-up ISP Demon Internet. Most modern operating systems provide a built-in implementation of TCP-IP protocol, so NOS is regarded as obsolete by its original developer. It still may have its uses for embedded systems that are too small for Linux. References External links
