> Commodore has an EtherNet board, but is there any software to run it? Yes, there is. It runs TCP/IP, and has client NFS available. I run it at work, along with X-Window by Gfxbase…..in fact, I've been running it for a few years now. The board was originally from Ameristar, (Commodore bought the design from them…either that or licensed the technology), and it ran AmeriStar's software. I now have it running the Commodore software, and I'm very satisfied with it. Syndesis has sells a DECNET implementation….I'm sure John Foust will jump in any minute with details about that. <grin!> There are a couple of implementations that have peer-to-peer communications available for the Amiga (from GVP, and someone else whose name escapes me at the moment). I'll be glad when CBM gets their networking story together…as mentioned here already, they're working on it! Hopefully once that standard is in place we'll see even more networking products and applications available. Steve
