- AmiTCP/IP and included material.
-
- * License
-
- The GNU General Public License version 2 (see the file `COPYING')
- applies to the whole distribution, except for files explicitly
- stated in the file `COPYRIGHTS'.
-
- * This Release
-
- We still consider the release 2 (version 2.0) as a `beta' version,
- that is, there might still be some bugs left and some details will
- certainly change.
-
- * How to Contact the Authors?
-
- Authors of the AmiTCP/IP can be reached from the e-mail address
-
- AmiTCP-Group@hut.fi
-
- The e-mail address for bug reports is:
-
- AmiTCP-Bug@hut.fi
-
- There is also a mailing list for the developers, AmiTCP@hut.fi. You
- can join it by sending a request to:
-
- AmiTCP-Request@hut.fi
-
- Please include a word `ADD' along with your mail address in a single
- line in your message body.
-
- Any problems and suggestions can also be discussed in the newsgroup
- comp.sys.amiga.datacomm.
-
- * About the FTP and Telnet Clients
-
- The FTP and Telnet clients included in the binary distribution are
- supplied by:
-
- Mark Tomlinson <mark@garden.equinox.gen.nz>
- Goeff McCaughan <geoff@equinox.gen.nz>
-
- You are should send your comments about FTP and Telnet to them.
-
- Source code for these two programs can be found from the Aminet
- under the directory comm/net.
-
- * How to Install AmiTCP/IP:
-
- You should not install the current version on top of any older
- version. If your disk space allows, leave the old version on the
- disk and delete it when you have the new version up and running.
-
- Extract first the distribution archives (AmiTCP_xxx_20.lha) to some
- directory in your hard disk (e.g. WORK:).
-
- Before you proceed, you should get the following information from
- your network administration (if you don't have the information, you
- have to modify your network database afterwards):
-
- * Internet protocol address for your computer. This is a 32 bit
- integer represented as a series of decimal numbers separated by
- dots. For example, 130.233.161.40 is a legal internet address.
-
- * If you have a point-to-point connection to the network, you need
- to know your destination IP address, that is the IP address of
- the host you are connected. SLIP, CSLIP and PPP are examples of
- point-to-point connections.
-
- * Netmask for your network. This specifies how many bits of your
- internet address are used to specify the network address. Netmask
- is like 255.255.255.0. If your network is not sub-netted, then do
- not have to supply this value (a default computed from the IP
- address is used).
-
- * Address of the default gateway. If your host do not know any route
- to a host it resorts to the default gateway. If you have only one
- point-to-point connection, you should use the host you are
- connected as a default gateway.
-
- * Your host name. Host name is a more convenient way than the internet
- address to refer your computer. This is like `Amiga1'.
-
- * Domain name of your site. For example, "hut.fi" is the domain name
- for the Helsinki University of Technology in Finland. The part
- after the first dot in your full host name is usually (but not
- always) your domain name.
-
- * Addresses of the Domain Name Servers which will be used to
- translate host names to the corresponding internet addresses. A
- local database must be used instead if there is no name server on
- your domain.
-
- If you have an access to a Unix machine in your network, you can
- probably find a list of domains and name server addresses in the
- file `/etc/resolv.conf'. Also, if there is no name server, you can
- copy the file `/etc/hosts' to the `AmiTCP:db/hosts'.
-
- Next you should obtain a SANA-II compatible device driver for your
- network adapter. The SANA-II drivers are usually installed into
- directory `DEVS:networks'. We have included a few freely
- distributable drivers with the AmiTCP/IP. You can use the SLIP or
- CSLIP drivers with a serial interface.
-
- AmiTCP/IP uses the name of SANA-II device driver to access it. You
- should also know the number of unit you are using (usually 0). You
- might also have to make a configuration file for your device driver.
- The configuration files have usually the name of the interface
- appended with unit number and `.config', e.g. unit 1 of sana.device
- uses the configuration file `slip1.config'. Configuration files are
- usually stored into the directory `ENV:Sana2/'.
-
- You may start the installation by double-clicking the
- "Install_AmiTCP-2.0"-icon.
-
- * What Happens in the Installation?
-
- The course of installation is shortly explained for those of you who
- want to know what happens to their computer:
-
- * Amount of free memory and version of system software is checked
- * Destination directory is asked for
- * An earlier installation is checked in the destination directory,
- so you can change your setup by running the installation script
- again
- * The AmiTCP/IP files are copied to the destination if needed
- * Included Sana-II device drivers are installed
- * EmacsTCP is installed
- * NapsaTerm is installed
- * You are queried some information concerning your network setup:
- * Your host and domain name name is stored to the environment
- variable HOSTNAME
- * You are asked for aliases (nicknames) for your host
- * You are asked for the name, unit of the interface you are using
- * Likewise the interface (and destination) IP addresses and
- netmask are asked
- * You are asked for the IP address of the default gateway
- * You are asked for domain names and domain name server IP
- addresses
- * If you select to start AmiTCP/IP when your computer boots,
- appropriate command is added to your s:user-startup.
- * S:user-startup is modified to make right assigns and paths.
- * Installer creates Amitcp:bin/startnet, a script to start
- AmiTCP/IP, configure Sana-II interfaces and provide basic routing
- * Other network information is saved in the file
- AmiTCP:db/netdb-myhost
-
- * If There Is Some Problems with Installation
-
- Here is an example of the required information:
-
- Name of your computer: slip-2
- Your domain part: hut.fi
- Aliases for it: amy
- Your Internet address: 130.233.161.50
- Destination address (terminal server): 130.233.161.90
- Netmask of used in your network: 255.255.252.0
- Address of the default gateway: 130.233.163.254

- cs.hut.fi
- Addresses of nameservers: 130.233.224.1
- 130.233.224.13
- 128.214.4.29
- SANA-II device driver: slip.device
- (Serial Line IP)
- Unit of the SANA-II device driver: 0
-
-
- `AmiTCP:bin/StartNet' (lines beginning with `;' are comments):
-
- run AmiTCP:AmiTCP
- SYS:Rexxc/WaitForPort AMITCP
- Wait 2 secs
- ; configure loop-back device
- AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig lo/0 localhost
- ; Configure Devs:Networks/slip.device unit 0
- AmiTCP:bin/ifconfig Devs:Networks/slip.device/0 130.233.161.50 +
- 130.233.161.90 netmask 255.255.252.0
- ; Add route to this host
- AmiTCP:bin/route add slip-2.hut.fi localhost
- ; Add route to the default gateway
- AmiTCP:bin/route add default 130.233.163.254
- ; Start the internet `super server'
- run AmiTCP:bin/inetd
-
- `Amitcp:db/netdb-myhost' (lines beginning with `;' are comments):
-
- ; This host
- HOST 130.233.161.50 slip-2.hut.fi slip-2 amy
- ; Domain names
- DOMAIN hut.fi
- DOMAIN cs.hut.fi
- ; Name servers
- NAMESERVER 130.233.224.1
- NAMESERVER 130.233.224.13
- NAMESERVER 128.214.4.29
-
- `S:User-Startup' will contain something along following lines (if
- you do not choose to start AmiTCP at the system startup):
-
- ;BEGIN AmiTCP/IP
- setenv HOSTNAME slip-2.hut.fi
- assign AmiTCP: HardDisk:Work/project/DIST-2.0.24
- path AmiTCP:bin add
- ;END AmiTCP/IP
