But the X manual is certainly a lot better than it was, no? I wore out
three blue pencils on it. 🙂 As I've said, the best way to insure that
comments and enhancement requests to the right person is to write them down
and mail them to Bob Tolly! There's no guarantee that he'll ever see this
message, it sometimes takes weeks for me to bring transcripts to the
office. I can answer questions, and give information, but it's better if
you summarize your ideas and mail them in separately.
I'll mention the request for acommend line interface to NCP; chances are,
we'd install an ARexx port instead, which gives even more flexibility. As
for the second question, no, not at this time. On one machine, you can
only use Ethernet or serial, and you can't play router, either, meaning you
can't run two serial ports. If you run TSSnet on your home Amiga and the
office Amiga, and they are connected to the network, couldn't you dial-in
to the network and login to the Amiga? Stop me if I'm wrong, but I'm
winging it while Bob's at Xhibition this week. 🙂 And for your third
question, the next release of TSSnet will have a "netcopy" utility that
lets you move files between nodes. At this time, we don't have any direct
support for this. Would it be possible to use a terminal program on both
ends? What transfer methods do you use when you're on a simple non-DECnet
dial-up port?
