I`m considering networking an amiga to a BSD4.3 unix machine via ethernet. Does anybody have any information about ethernet controllers for an A2000 or A3000? Many moons ago, somebody posted a press release from C= which mentioned an ethernet controller. In particular, do any controllers (are there more than one?) support nfs, ftp, telnet, rlogin, rsh, rcp, terminal emulators and/or other unix like commands? What software (if any) comes bundled with the controllers? What are prices on any of these items? Any answers will be appreciated. - raymund galvin

Commodore has the A2065 Ethernet controller available. Works fine. For software the recently released AS225 software package (TCP/IP) has nfs, telnet, rlogin, rsh, rcp etc. in it. The two packages are not bundled together. >What are prices on any of these items? See your dealer. Both of the above packages are currently available. bj >- raymund galvin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Jackson Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga Inc.
