- INET: is an assign used by AS225, Commodore's TCP/IP stack, which it supplied
- to registered developers and with some of its networking cards. The AmiTCP
- socket.library is an attempt to "emulate" AS225 functions on an AmiTCP
- setup. It's not a complete emulation, but it's sufficient for most
- applications.
-
- There are full details on how to set it up in the documentation for Grapevine.
- Basically you have to add two lines to your startnet script (preferably
- somewhere near the end):
-
- Assign INET: AmiTCP:
- SetEnv SOCKETCONFIG UID=100 GID=100 USER=<user name> DOMAIN=<domain name> UMASK=022
-
- e.g. I have:
-
- Assign INET: AmiTCP:
- SetEnv SOCKETCONFIG UID=100 GID=100 USER=Scampi DOMAIN=du.pipex.com UMASK=022
-
- Also, make sure socket.library is in AmiTCP:Libs.
-
- If you get all this right, everything should work okay.
