Dear networkers,
I know that this has come up before, but it hasn't been answered to the
group (as far as I can see from the archive).
Has anybody some informations about an ETHERNET card for the ST ?
If so, I'd appreciate information about
- where is it connected to (DMA, ROM port) ?
- internet protocols available (telnet, ftp, rlogin) ?
- which terminal emulations (vt200 etc.) ?
- vendor and price
- availability
If there is sufficient interest, I'll summarize the answers and post it to the
net.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas.

Installed, it cost $500-$1000 per node; so not much work has been done in the Atari world to support it with software. Modern SCSI interfaces for the Atari, such as the BMS-200 can handle chaining these boards along with the Disk Drive interfaces. Howard C. Johnson ATT Bell Labs att!lzsc!hcj hcj@lzsc.att.com

I contacted Adaptec last year about it; they are marketing it as a macintosh product, despite the potential portability of the "nodem". I might be able to throw together some software for it, if I ever had the cash to invest in it! Oh Well J P pietrzak@ces.cwru.edu

Cost is about $150 per terminal, and uses the Midi ports in the back of the machine. I do not know if it conforms to ethernet protocol (it consists of a box with two Midi cables, and what appear to be thin Ethernet coaxial connectors, but I am not sure). The product has only recently appeared in adds (I believe I saw one in STart magazine). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey Boyd | "Nobody can be exactly like me.

The following is taken from the latest ad in c't, the German magazine 'fuer Computertechnik', as are the addresses above: Atari ST, MS-DOS and UNIX all in one network. Gateways for DECNET, SUN NFS, Novell, etc. 10 MBit/s according to Ethernet/Cheapernet standard. Every machine working with it's own OS. Handling on the ST with an accessory. MS-DOS PC as deddicated server with partitions up to 2048MB. Atari ST as non-dedicated server (16MB partitions). Network security features including timelock and privilege levels. Spooler for all printers in the network (including laser printers). Mailboxes for messages and graphic images. Reliable transport protocol TCP/IP. Logging into hosts using telnet, datatransfer with NFS. Crash-Recovery for crashing systems. Backup-Server for critical applications. Private disk per user possible. That wwas the info from the ad. There was some more advertising hype which I won't translate here. Anyhow, for info on one possible Ethernet connection contact BioData.
