[comp.sys.atari.st] Networking STs together...Help Wanted!

keithr@vice.ICO.TEK.COM (U.D.M.) (07/19/88)

I am trying to find out if there is any company that has networking hardware
available for the ST.  What I want to do is connect 3 1040 STs together in an
office environment with one ST as the "master" which has a 20 meg hard drive.
I would like to be able to transfer files back and forth from this "master."
The cable distance between the 3 systems would be a maximum of 60 feet.

Can anyone help?  I've heard whispers and rumors, but no one knows who, when,
or how much.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Keith,
   I am using a TCP/IP package with my ST (primarily for amateur packet radio).
It does allow FTP as well as SMTP. I don't know if this is of interest but
it is in the public domain, being written by Phil Karn (radio call KA9Q), Bdale
Garbee N3EUA and others. Source code , in C, is also available. It compiles as
is with Lattice C compiler and I am most of the way through it with Laser C.
