What I've been hacking with lately: I've been playing with the (read: rewriting major sections :-) of the KA9Q PD TCP/IP package. TCP/IP is the network protocol used by U**X systems (analogous to DECNET). The standard applications that run on top of it are: TELNET - remote login (like "set host") FTP - remote file transfers (like FAL) SMTP - simple mail transfer protocol ECHO - remote loopback DISCARD - remote trashcan ... - lots of others (rlogin, rsh, rcat ...) What makes this interesting is that you can hook up your Amiga to a host and do SIMULTANEOUSLY any number of the above. In fact I uploaded the .ARC file for the kit while I was writing the text of this note! Anyhow, I now have a TCP/IP implementation up and running on the AMIGA. It supports the above mentioned applications and has two physical layer protocols supported: aX.25 - Amateur radio version of X.25 protocol SLIP - Serial Line Interface Protocol The first allows you to talk over ham (packet) radio. The second lets you talk over serial lines to other machines running SLIP (like U**X hosts). If you are interested, see conference (FROBUS::)HAMRADIO note 783.* NOTE: I DO NOT have VMS code for the host side and the ULTRIX code is not yet releasable. What I am shooting for is to interface this Amiga code with the SLIP code that is being offically released under ULTRIX V2.4. Regards, dave (KK3B)

| 1175.1 | another wonde from wecker...but what about VMS?? | MVCAD3::BAEDER | D. Scott DTN 237-2961 SHR1-3/E19 | Tue Feb 16 1988 16:34 | 12 |
dave...this is great for those who have access to ultrix...but how
about the rest of us :-( what about this vms code...any plans???
inquiring minds want to know....
(actually, I often get so used to multitasking, that I'd like to
upload/do other work over a single phone line!...now if I can just
remember that I can't pick up the phone to dial for pizza while
DL'ing, I'll be all set...:-)

re: .1 Scott: Don't despair... once the ULTRIX version works reasonably well I will be taking a look at Asyncronous DECNET. | |||||
