This letter is being typed on a Telnet link established between
my amiga and one of our vaxes. Karns stuff really works on the amiga!
Kudos to Phil Karn and Louis Mamakos, who modified Karn's good
code for the Amiga. You can pick this package up at trantor.umd.edu.
Note the implication: Amigas can now be networked out the serial port.
You can connect two amigas together via TCP, and have just
one drive the laser printer or whatever. Fun.
If they had just one more serial port, you could really have some
fun...
Amigas come with networking hardware (serial port) that works over
standard short-and-long haul modems. And they talk to the TCP/IP
world. Maybe C-A should give this one away- first program i have
found for the Amiga that is useful for my work!
Egad users: For those who are having trouble with it, you are not
alone. According to the code, boolean gadgets do not work yet.
(I.E. the addboolean function is: addboolean(){})
I have gotten it to work sometimes, but it is iffy. Also, you CAN
compile it under lattice- my lattice version works better than the
binaries from trantor.umd.edu! There are one or three changes to be
made- anybody who cares let me know.
