I'm seeking out the collected wisdom on the ethernet boards for the Amiga, and their associated s/ware. I've heard mutterings that some of the s/ware is not as bullet proof as desired, but don't know which it applies to.

I've used the Hydra Systems AmiNet, the AmeriStar Ethernet, and Commodore's AS225 software. Commodore's software is the more bulletproof of the three from my experiences. Since upgrading the 16 Amiga systems that my programmers use at work from the AmeriStar to the CBM software, the guru-per-day has gone down from 5/day to 0/day. AmiNet works OK, it is the more friendly of the ethernet software, but it is only Amiga to Amiga. It can coexist on a TCP/IP ethernet, but will not communicate with internet protocol. I would like the CBM software to support a remote printer SPL: device as the Aminet does, then I'll remove the AmiNet boards. voice: (708)691-4747 Internet:dhansen@amiganet.chi.il.us
