- Hi,
- I just have uploaded the newest version (1.22) of our TCP/IP software
- to the server sun5.iaee.tuwien.ac.at (fortec.tuwien.ac.at) today.
- We use it to connect our ATARIs to SUN workstations.
- It is based upon (Ethernet) packet drivers hiding the hardware from
- the IP layer, so it can easily be adapted to different ethernet cards.
- At present we use Ethernet cards from Riebl Germany for our
- MegaSt and TT as well as a Dlink DE600 pocket adaptor which connects
- to the cartridge port of each ST via a tiny, self-made interface
- (some small hardware could be used to connect it to the parallel
- port too).
- Packet driver sources (Pure-C) are included, as well as some
- application programs we have written.
-
- Peter.
