TCP Stack for KS/WB 1.3
 

Heys fortytwo,

Welcome to the EAB, i am sure you will like it here..

as far as i know there are but few TCP/PPP / IP stack is

one is ANT (wich is no more if memory serves correctly but used to be VERY small), Genisis and AmiTCP 1,2 and 3

there is one that cames with a dongle.. from here http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...3469e7e9d80700

the interesting and most important thing here is easynet, i have yet to find it elsewhere other than at amigakit.

If i had the time i would write a free tcp/ppp/ip stack wich you could specify an amiga port to its just a pain in the backside that you cannot specify a port to lump a tcp/pp/ip stack to... PC's can do it now.... its unfair :(

amitcp (later genisis) is IMO the best stack. I belive even genisis will run on 3.1, you might be able to install it from a 3.9/3.5 cd if you have one.
Sofar I have been able to do everything I needed with amitcp, including mounting NFS network file systems.

@all:

he was asking for kick 1.3, not 3.1.

AFAIK there is no TCP/IP stack for Kick 1.3.

Doesn't Termite TCP work on 1.3 ?

Aha! it wasn't ANT it was Termite i was thinking of!

thanks musashi!

Nope, it needs at least KS2.04 and 1Mb ram:

Termite has the lowest requirements of any TCP/IP stack on Amiga AFAIK.

I trust DrBong's input - he's quite an authority. I've never used the software, but I could have sworn it ran on 1.3... I guess not then :(

AmigaNOS.
That's pretty ancient, might work. (Should be available on aminet)

That's what I thought initially, but I thought I'd better check Aminet in case my memory was playing tricks on me (and it was!) :crazy

Should be fine for serial transfers between Amiga and PC if that's all the OP wants to do, but there might be more user-friendly software on Aminet for that:

Wouldn't recommend ancient TCP/IP stacks like AmigaNOS for net access on an A500, though, as they don't allow you to directly connect to the net. Far easier to upgrade an A500 to KS 2.x and use Termite (more user-friendly and light on resources). Of course, it all depends on what the OP wants to do exactly.

@fortytwo
What is it exactly that you want to do? Connect your A500 to the net or just transfer files to/from your PC?

hmm why is your 020 A500 still running under K1.3, I thought it would come with K2+ as standard

Why? There were already a handful of 020 and even a few 030 accelerators available for the A500 before KS2 was released in '91.
