- I have read a couple of messages here about SLiRP being faster and
- accepting more clients than MLINK, which I use more successfully than I do
- AmiTCP. But there is only Unix files on Aminet for SLiRP.
-
- Are there Amiga SLiRP files needed? Is there a site with Amiga-specific
- information about using SLiRP? Or is ti just so simple that I don't even
- need toworry about it, just "plug and play"? :>
-
- Information appreciated!
