Just to stir this subject header back to life...

I've just finished porting KA9Q v871225.31 to the Atari ST (running TOS,
though ST-Minix seems a possibility.) Since I currently don't have an
ethernet board on my ST, I haven't tried to write any support there just
yet...

Basically everything is serial I/O at this point. The package supports
SLIP and SLFP, as well as the assortment of amateur radio protocols. The
serial port can be run up to 19.2Kbps (typical, eh?), and the MIDI port
can be used at up to 38.4Kbps.

In the works still is support for the bi-directional Centronics port,
which should run in excess of 750KBps. I'm still hedging on this because
it only seems to be good for connecting two STs together...

(I've been using it solely with SLFP, dialing up Merit to get outside...)

Now that this is done, I expect to port Phil's multitasking version next,
although the NCSA telnet package sounds pretty interesting. I wasn't aware
that the sources were publically available before. As soon as I get my hands
on an ethernet board, I'll have that going...

I dunno how much interest there is in this group, since it seems to be
devoted to IBMPC hardware/DOS software, though TOS isn't too far from DOS...
But it seems to be the only group discussing TCP/IP on  micros, thus
this posting...
