I hope this is the right group for this, I'm getting so confused these days... Does anyone know if the Commodore TCP/IP software can be unbundeled from their Ethernet board? I would like to use their software, but I doubt I'll be running an ethernet out to my home anytime soon. So, naturally, I would like to use the software over a SLIP connection. Alternatively, I am looking for TCP/IP software for the Amiga that can run over SLIP. I have looked at Phil Karn's SLIP software but it's unsuitable for my needs because it's not really "amigafied." I need unbundled rlogin/rsh/ftp - instead of having it all crammed together in one program that can't do more than one function at a time. I apologize if the Karn software has shed its PC heritage since I last looked at it. thanks for any pointers, -- Gregory R.

I think the software is already unbundled. You have to buy both the board _and_ the software. They have separate part numbers. I could be wrong, but I just looked at the price list last night and I think that's what it said. .--------------------------------------------------------------------------. |[- O] Rick Stevens | | ?

The software is part number AS225 and the Ethernet board is number A2065. They are not bundled together. bj ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brian Jackson Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga Inc.

Could somebody please take some time to explain what TCP/IP, SLIP and the other weird "datacomm" terminology stands for. I really could use the help. Thanks Bin
