- I tried something like that a while ago.. it failed though.. I have an ISDN
- Master in my Amiga, and want to browse the WWW with Netscape running on
- Shapeshifter (nice, with CV64). So I thought, lemme try this:
-
- The Net <---->iwan.device<-->AMITCP<-->nullmodem.device<---->Netscape
- (ISDN) ^

- The problem was here.
-
- I guess I'd need to set up a full new node (with separate IP number, etc) for
- the "mac". There probably is no way to use AmiTCP just as a router.. or is
- there?
-
- Or what would be best would be a mac driver for AmiTCP... please, someone
- write one.. :)
