You also have dependencies in the software which uses the bsdsocket.library, such as the utility.libray TagItem list support. That would have to be provided in some form. Launching shell commands robustly was very hard under Kickstart 1.3, so there probably would be no inetd-style superserver. It's just too much work to throw a large part of the bsdsocket.library away and then cut down the CLI commands which are needed to set up the network interfaces and the TCP/IP configuration. |

Thanks for the detailed answer. Looks like I'm not getting the vanilla A500 online any time soon!

I reckon that's doable if one can "mock" the function behaviour which cannot be fully implemented. Mind you, there would still have to be Kickstart 1.3 compatible TCP/IP client software to make use of this peculiar, restricted TCP/IP stack. |

Glad to talk to the Roadshow creator!! Once you use Roadshow, you can’t go back to anything else you used in Amiga. Indeed the update process has been improved dramatically and it is a breeze now to make updates!!! There are very few pieces of software nowadays in amiga environment that are professionally done and is worth paying for!!! One of those is your program!! Well done |

Roadshow was the TCP/IP stack I wanted to use myself, which is why it's designed like it is (although not all the design decisions have aged well over the past 18 years). A good part of what makes strange people such as myself keep working on Amiga software like Roadshow is to improve it, teach the old dog new tricks Amiga software development can be fun, even after all those 30+ years |

When I click connect on my setup I then have a couple of other requesters come up - the option to just hit connect and then just be told 'all done' would be neat. Even better just an icon to leave out on the workbench with a green light for online and red light of offline for example with a click on it switching between?

Roadshow is really a fantastic piece of software, a must have! :-)

I actually just use Roadie to connect and disconnect, not really to configure (and yes I could do this other ways). I did have Roadshow running from my startup but it seemed to add ages to my boot time so I dropped it off there and only run it when required.

I do not want to get online every time I start my Amiga. If it is something if there is a card in PCMCIA slot that can cause software to fail.
If this software had a GUI like MiamiDX I would have bought it long time ago. I have to look into Roadie, if that does the job and then I can buy this software. I would recommend you either bundle this software with Roadie or make some simple GUI for it. Online, Offline is really only what is needed. Last edited by nikosidis; 28 September 2020 at 16:20. |

Roadshow 1.14 is out
Yes Roadie does exactly this job plus 2-3 other functions. It is exactly what people need. Before roadie I had added those functions through ToolsDaemon in a small drop down menu. Now I actually use both!! Couldn’t be simpler.
The luck of GUI is too small of an issue to solve and not loose the incredible speed difference roadshow provides compared with the rest of the tcp/ip stacks. Last edited by npagonis73; 28 September 2020 at 16:20. |

My user startup has: run >nil: <nil: execute s:network-startup WB boots up before everything in my network-startup is done (it does ntp sync and mounts a samba share after the interface is up). When I happen to do WHDLoad gaming, my whdload config runs netshutdown.. I start my networking back up from toolsdaemon if I need it again. |

For Roadshow I would have been satisfied with an installation script that asked for the basic network settings required (IP address, netmask, gateway etc.). Having to hunt down the configuration files and manually edit them was a pain, and the documentation didn't do a good job of explaining what needed to be done. Then when I installed the commercial version it overwrote all my configuration files. Definitely not for beginners! Has this behavior changed in the latest version? Quote:

Try using a static IP address for your network card if you are not.

I already do use static ips for almost everything on my home network. Will dig back into roadshow and check I have that configured properly though when I get a minute.
