-
- With configuration, there are those who want it to be as unix-like as possible and
- those who think we should try to simplify configuration somehow. NeXT tried the
- latter and all I have heard is criticism.
-
- You should file a bug report or nfsmgr. I haven't seen any problems
- like you mention.

- This has been available to developers for almost a year.

-
- A fully featured TCP/IP networking distribution would include dozens of
- applications along with documentation, include files, sample code, etc.
- There just isn't the demand for TCP/IP on Amigas to justify the large effort
- it would take Commodore to port all these over to the Amiga. The reasonable
- thing for them to do is release the next version with all the developer's files
- and allow the Amiga community to port the networked applications they want.
-
- AS225 release 1 came out 2 years ago. Release 2 should fix most of the
- major problems.
