- MultiLink (working name): Proposed feature list.
-
- This is what I have planned for MultiLink. The first version may not have
- all of the features listed below, but eventually I plan to incorporate them
- all into the package. Things take time...
-
- o Uses BSD sockets as it's interface.
-
- - Both stream and datagram type sockets supported
- - Connect to servers on the Amiga, on the Remote UNIX host, or
- on any other host connected to the internet (with the proper
- client).
- - Accept connections (server sockets) from local clients on the
- Amiga, or remote clients on the UNIX host, or any host on the
- internet.
- - AS225R2 and AmiTCP shared library emulations.
-
- o Robust serial link protocol
-
- - Up to 64 simultaneous channels.
- - Prioritized channels
- - robust byte escaping protocols (for goofy lines :-))
- - Error detection and correction.
- - Auto-bps rate adjust for maximum interactive response and
- thruput.
- - auto-renegotiation. Can change many options WHILE the link is
- running for performance tuning. Can reestablish a broken
- connection with the UNIX host.
-
- o Easy setup and use
-
- - Easily compilable UNIX code.
- - GUI prefs program.
- - All options determined locally on the Amiga and transmitted to the
- UNIX host on startup. (no more diddling with command line options
- on EITHER side).
- - GUI status commodity. Keep track of the link, adjust priorities,
- change options runtime.
