The BeOS supports TCP/IP and AppleTalk printing. FTP, ftpd, PPP, and telnet are included in the BeOS, as is a Web browser and server, and a POP/SMTP client for mail.

The network programming interface is sockets-based, so developers have and will port software from the rich collection of Unix- and sockets-based network software available on the Internet.

Does the BeOS support TCP/IP configuration via DHCP?
