ELKS isn't coming along too badly either. It boots, can mount
a (minix) root disk, and run init. I think the console driver
is working, and somebody is porting a tiny shell to it. Unfortunately
fork() isn't done yet, so no multitasking. There seems to be a kernel
size limit of 64k, which is being a bit of a problem. Kernel-based
TCP/IP seems unlikely.
