Where can I find out more about TCP/IP or any other method to Peer connect Amigas and PCs ?
1. Does the add say anything about connecting Amigas and PCs as Peers ? 2. I have cousins in NSW. They are interested in getting a computer and we have talked about getting them a CIS account so we could correspond more readily. What are the costs to do this…
Steve, I used Amigaff to look for files with 1200c, HP and DeskJet as keywords. Although there were a number of offerings for HPLJ 2->4 and HPDJ 500C->560C there was nothing for the 1200c. I would try the 500 drivers but the HP hardware docs specifically state that the DJ…
Hello John! Glad you chimed in. Are you still selling any of the Dec or was it Xwindows Client Stuff you were in to some time ago ?
Jerry I am interested in your Novell 3.11 package. Please reply Cmail. Russ
Jeff, I am not aware of any peer to peer network solutions between Amiga's and PCs. Novell would require you to dedicate your pentium or a portion of it to use as a file server. Novell 4.01 5 user sells for approx $1100 with the OS/2 option.
Jeff,I have been folowing the Amiga Networking market and all I have seen are 4 scenarios. Scenarios Problems 1.) RS232 cable via a laplink like utility only a file transfer utility not a real network 2.) Parnet no PC connection(that I am aware of) 3.) Novell Amiga Clients (Oxxi?) Must…

There is a sentence on page 2 of the 2088/2286 Bridgeboard manual under Section 1.1 'About the Bridgeboard' 2nd paragraph second to the last sentence that reads as follows: "You Can run other PC operating systems." If that is true my question is can you run Novell 3.11 on a…
John, have you considered useing Central Points Deluxe Option Board($120)? It cracks PC copy protection and reads and writes Mac Disks. If you put it into a BB you could use PC HD disks and R/W Mac disks from the Amiga thru the BB. Isnt there an Amiga Dir Util…

When BREAK <task> doesnt
Message #16162
Is there a utility program that will allow me to kill errant tasks? Sometimes I will have a program that will get out of control (ie fail to respond to console input) I can find the task with STATUS but BREAK has no effect on it. What other tools/techniques are…
Thanks for the reply Martin. When I connect to the Host with the VT100 Emulation that came with Diga the function keys do nothing whatsoever. In fact the only way I can get off the Host is to drop the phone line. What is the "VLT" you mentioned in your…

John, I appreciate your postings on treble OS Amiga's. Thanks for taking the point on this. I wonder if the AT Once board would have the same ability to address the chinon controller as the C= BB's ? I would really like to have a 386 BB (I am spoiled…

Vic, What else can you tell us about the State of Novell Client software for the Amiga ? Are there any native Amiga NICs out ? Alternatively is there a way to make the Amiga side talk to a standard ISA BUS NIC in a BB slot without a BB…
Very Very Interesting John! I am planning on setting up a mini Novell Network and one of the configs I will experiment with will be to have the Amiga BB as the server. In a 2000 with an AT BB and a PC side HD controller and a VGA card…

Postscript and Prowrite
Message #24959
If you copy a standard project type icon to ram:OutPs.text.info in your startup sequence you would have an Icon waiting for your PostScript file.
Gary, Dont mean to be dumb, but I guess I'm still a little fuzzy on this concept. I am happy with what Prowrite can put out on a Laserjet for instance but the problem seems to be getting screen and printer fonts to match so that you have WYSIWYG. Will…
David, I know what you mean about code being "not pretty", but it would still be useful. Did you use Forms ? Russ
