- PLEASE NOTE:
-
- This is a CROSSPOST to _five_ groups!
- (I have found no way of setting "follow-up:", sorry.)
-
-
-
- I have a rather na∩ve question... (I think ;-)
-
- Please, make/give me some suggestions/ideas that (may) be usable for this...
-
-
- I'd like to be able to do the following connection:
-
- *) Sun Solaris LAN - 10BaseT
-
- <-->
-
- *) 386 PC, 1M RAM, 2x20MB XT HD, 10BaseT/ISA, 1S(15550) 1P/EPP? port.
- 1x5.25" 360K & 1x3.5" 720K disk-drives.
-
- <--=PPP/SLIP/CSLIP @ 115.2K+ *or* PLIP =-->
-
- *) Amiga 1200 (see below),
- capable of AT LEAST 115.2K serial comm.
- 40-50K(+?)/sec parallell comm.
-
- Cause:
- The pricetag on a PCMCIA ethernet card for the Amiga is $300+, 8-|
- (~10x the cost of a usable card for a PC :-( )
-
- As I am no wealthy person I'd like to keep this on as low a budget as
- possible. Also considering that the sole thing I want the PC to be
- is "a connection to the net".
-
- I have access to 8-BIT PLIP and a bunch of PPP/[C]SLIP drivers for my
- Amiga.
-
- I believe myself of beeing *aábit* of a "hacker" (x86/68K Asm, C, C++...).
- But I have very little knowledge about TCP/IP, especially when using
- PC's, and the availability of software for this kind of solution.
-
- Linux seems to be out of the question as docs states that it requires 2-4M
- RAM to start with - and also; I'd have to buy an 1.44M (3.5") drive to be
- able to use the "Slackware" installation f.ex.
-
- "Thank you's" for any response, in advance...
