Does anybody know the status of commodore's ETHERNET board and software? We are planning to buy an A2000HD and want to hook up to Ethernet to use Telnet and FTP. I called Commodore, but I was unable to reach anyone who had any idea what I was talking about. Will the Commodore software, when and if it comes out, support Telnet and FTP? Thanks for any help, Richard Gerber Physics Department University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign gerber@rigel.astro.uiuc.edu

Here at Commonwealth Edison Co., I have 15 Amiga 2500's hooked up with the A2065 Ethernet boards and yes it does Telnet, ftp, and rlogin. NFS is also available, but I have not tested it. I think that the latest version will also include a daemon. More info, call me @(708)691-4747 (Dave Hansen) or call Dale Luck at gfxBase in Milpatas, CA.

Unfortunately, I haven't had any spare time this week to set it up on our systems. All I've had a chance to do so far is put in one board and run tests on it (which ran fine). I will tell you that the SW supports all the standard TCP/IP protocols. Telenet, FTP, rlogin, ping, ls, chmod, arp, TFTP, rsh, etc. I'll try to post here when I've got it up and running and let people know how it's working. ============================================================================== \ / \ \ / / Sean Schur \ \ / / \ \/ / USENET: schur@isi.edu \ /a\mpyr/ Compuserve: 70731,1102 \/ \ / ideo Plink: OSS259 \/ ==============================================================================

New >software is due soon, according to the press releases of a few months ago. The Commodore board is almost the same as the Ameristar board. You cannot use the Commodore board with Ameristar 3.0 software. However, the Commodore TCP/IP software will work with Ameristar boards. > >The ver 3 software does nfs client stuff and tftp, not sure about telnet. FTP and Telnet are included in the Commodore software.
