There is no uqlx.html file in the docs dirctory, whereas on github the file is there. why the difference, as the missing doc file gives import information with regards to UQLX.
Thanks Derek.
Not knowing the first thing about uQLx and being afraid of breaking the archive or something, what I've done is to add the uqlx.html as a separate file just after the uQLx 2017 sources on the Emulators page. Hope this helps.
I e-mailed Graeme Gregory to ask if the IP Device Driver was working in UQLX 2017. He says that he has never used IP on UQLX.
From a search on the web, I found that back in 2009 someone was having problems getting the IP driver to work when compiling UQLX. Something to do with the version of the software used to the compiling.
So as I can't seem to get the driver working, I am going to assume that the IP Device Driver does not work, or does not work correctly in UQLX 2017.

Have you got a link to that discussion?
Also do you have a simple test case? I think Dilwyn did post one ages ago but I forgot where.
I have a couple of days hols next week so I might get a chance to take a look and see what the deal is with uQlx!
The uQLx versions I built years ago for the Raspberry Pi and the Efika actually had a working TCP/IP driver (although I never tested it beyond some basic packet transfer tests, and definitely not against your driver, which didn't exist at that time).
That means: It should in principle be working, as I don't assume there have been lots of changes. The exact problem what doesn't work with your setup should be worked out, and I'm sure that can be fixed.

IIRC, I did some simple testing of IP on the different emulators. IIRC, I think it worked on uQLx but the syntax was different than SMSQmulator. I can retest this weekend.
Well, uQLx is the original implementation for TCP/IP for QDOS, all applications were originally developed for it. Then I implemented the same interface for QPC and eventually Wolfgang did it for SMSQmulator based on QPC‘s source code, but that was only a few months ago.
If they don‘t behave the same then it‘s a bug.
What XorA is getting at is that the socket in UQLX is not "TCP" but "*TCP". Here is the one line from Dilwyn's example program:
150 OPEN_IN #3,"tcp_www.dilwyn.me.uk:80"
To get it to work with UQLX, just add a * :
150 OPEN_IN #3,"*tcp_www.dilwyn.me.uk:80"
And this now works (I just tested it). Now, programs like Lynx are probably not expecting the *, so that might be why Lynx failed on UQLX. Like XorA said, a simple change in QLip.c :
difference, as the missing doc file gives import information with regards to UQLX.
