So I just want to make a small note that I am working on a new project altogether (though I am keeping my mm.info(mem) enhancement in my own firmware, i'll still submit it if there is any desire for it to exist in the mainline)

I have an ESP8266 and I am flashing the SLIP router firmware onto it (like I have used for the original MiST and other projects) and I intend to write an actual TCP/IP stack for it in BASIC. I've actually already started it.

Right now the following features are planned:
At least 1000000 bps speed (100k/s) (Looking at how fast I can actually get it to go, using LONGSTRING for my buffers)
Listening sockets with auto port forward from ESP8266
Interrupts for notification of new packet arrivals
CONF8266.INC: Router firmware configuration library
CONF8266.BAS: Router firmware configuration program
MMIP.INC: Raw IPv4 stack
MMIPV6.INC: Raw IPv6 stack (Not definite yet)
TCP.INC: Full TCP implementation
UDP.INC: Full UDP implementation
DNS.INC: DNS client library with forward/reverse resolve, DNS record type support
FTP.INC: FTP client library (Passive mode only)
HTTP.INC: HTTP client library (1.0/1.1)
FTP.BAS: FTP client and server (using the library)
HTTP.BAS: Basic HTTP client (using the library)
TELNET.BAS: Telnet client
IRC.BAS: Basic IRC client

More details will be coming as I code it.

Sounds a really interesting project. On the port I did for the Raspberry Pi (now defunct) I wrote some code that allowed MMbasic variables to automatically populate html and had support for TCP and UDP

Feel free to use/abuse the ideas as you wish. More info in the manual for MMbasic on the PI-Cromite

Will do :)
Is it possible to create a sub or function that will accept a string that is not quoted as an argument, such as if I wanted to have like:

TCP CLOSE 1

instead of something like

TCP "CLOSE 1"
or
TCP "CLOSE",1

How could I do this with a SUB?

So far I have been considering the syntax using periods as function indicators:

socket = TCP.OPEN(RESOLVE("www.google.com","A"),80)
do
print TCP.READ(socket)
loop until TCP.Closed(socket)
TCP.CLOSE socket

And stuff like this.
But i'd rather use like, "TCP CLOSE socket" and other forms of this.

Ever consider a port of this to CircleLib?
https://github.com/rsta2/circle

It'd be alot nicer to see such a thing running on bare hardware and it avoids having Raspbian breaking your code too.

Not as such but you can make CLOSE a constant and use a top level subroutine TCP. Except of course CLOSE and OPEN are reserved words so it would have to be something like

const T_CLOSE=1
CONST T_OPEN=2
SUB TCP mode as integer, otherparams....
select case mode
