Recently someone posted to the net that karn@flash.bellcore.com had implemented TCP/IP protocols for the PC. This is true, but he does not have an implementation for the Atari ST. Does anyone out there have such a creature?

The current version 871225.33a for the ST, with NET/ROM and Finger support thrown in for good measure, is available by copying NET33_ST.ARC (sources are NET33SRC_ST.ARC, if I recall) from the net. NET33_ST.ARC is known to be on TOMCAT.GSFC.NASA.GOV (which is an AT running the Karn software). The sources are known to be on BOBCAT.BBN.COM. (I put them there.) They may also, by now, be on one of the regular distribution points such as the /hamradio directory at UCSD.EDU. It works fairly well, but do be advised that it's not a speed demon; with a 1200 bps AX.25 connection, the program on the ST is fairly hard pressed to keep up with the traffic while doing Trace. But it's a fairly clever, tolerably robust implementation. (I haven't tried out the MIDI ports, but it supports them too.)

I ported the 871225.31 version to TOS, and added support for MIT's SLFP (Serial Line Framing Protocol). Get it off him1, in PC7:, (look for "ka9q?" there.) Slowly beginning to work on his NOS version. ("Network Operating System" multiple tasks, BSD sockets, other goodies...) -- / /_ , ,_.
