Someone was looking for NET for the Amiga? You can get a copy of Amiga NOS (network operating system) via anonymous FTP from sayshell.umd.edu. It should have the version identifier 900214 in its filename. It's designed for amateur radio TCP/IP use, but you can also attach ethernet, 3Comm, etc. and run it on a network. It's been working flawlessly for me at 44.56.0.22 paul@wa1omm.ampr.org. The archive contains all sources. Some more news to you folks who have been asking about using the Amiga for FAX transmission and reception. Available NOW for $299 is a product from AEA, Inc. (206-775-7373) called AVT (Amiga Video Terminal?). It sends and receives FAX, WEFAX, and 55 modes of slow-scan TV. The hardware interface has connections for 5 transceivers/receivers/tape recorders, and 1 telephone. It's all menu driven and accepts all forms of IFF input. I believe it will transmit a color image in 12 sec. over the telephone. Looks like a winner. Since I have nuttin' to do with AEA, I suggest you contact them directly for more information. LHARC is now out there with a nice intuition interface. Appears to run much faster than the CLI version. Regards, Paul - WA1OMM

I am desperately in need of this release of NOS (NET) for the Amiga. I tried to ftp to the above mentioned site, but had no luck (I am new at this ftp stuff). Is there anyway I can get this from you, by dialing you direct via normal telephone lines or something. If so, please follow up to this article or mail me (it may bounce) indicating how I can get together with you to obtain this program. Thanks a lot, and look forward to hearing you. >Some more news to you folks who have been asking about using the Amiga >for FAX transmission and reception.

I heard this is a great product, I hear also that the guy who designed it is the same guy that owns Black Belt systems, the same guy that came up with the HAM-E adapter (not yet available). I look forward to purchasing one of these, the AVT that is, and if you have any experience with this product let us know how it works in the real world.

FYI, sayshell is a NeXT running Mach 1.0. FTP transfers from sayshell (to
Silicon Valley) peak around 5 kbytes/sec.
The ``Net'' program also supports SLIP and other goodies. The only docs
in the zoo file(s) are the comments in the source code. The code purports
to support any serial.device on the Amiga (500/1000/2000) and the executable
``Net'' program is included in the zoo archive. Looks like a very interesting
package!

The latest file is amiganos-900214a.zoo ... however, I've been told these files are beta releases only, hence a few bugs and no docs. The internet address of sayshell.umd.edu is 128.8.2.88. Send email to Louis Mamakos, the author of the amiga port, at louie@sayshell.umd.edu One recent experience with the "latest" version was as follows: start ftp telnet some_remote_site ..initiate ftp from that remote site ..send file to your Amiga ..suddenly, the telnet session closes (I figured it was the remote host... it's been having a lot of problems) telnet another_site ..debugging info sent to initial cli ..prompt returns in the initial cli ..nos code unloaded, windows still open ..decide to save files in RAM: to df0: ..zig zag pattern on screen, white, black, drive light still on ..3 finger salute...unable to recovercedfile, 44 blocks wiped out on disk in df0:, 3 hours of work & backups... I'll email off a bug report when I track it down. BTW, much thanks to Dave, for DiskSalve.
