I have the commodore ethernet board and the TCP/IP networking software hooking me into a unix network. Everything is working fine except the terminal program for doing logins to the unix machines only support a few terminal types and the vt100 is not even close to full emulation. Ant one out there know where I can get a better terminal emulator for my ethernet connection? Thanks Dan the networking man

Wrong question. You don't want better terminal emulation. You want to use rlogin, which is native Amiga terminal. But you want to add a termcap entry on the Unix box for the Amiga. Your TCP/IP software should come with that termcap entry and an explanation. Dale Larson – An Amiga Software Engineer with less and less time on his hands.

I might add that even I (Unix maroon 1st class) was able to add the RLamiga termcap to a Unix system at my business and it works perfectly. As for RloginVT…. um well….I don't use it. Goin' AP …..Mark Sterling

Do you happen to know what's happened to CBM's TCP/IP product? Months ago before the RIF, it had slim support. Has it dropped to zero, and is this one of those products they're going to turn over to outsiders for further development? (I know, you don't work there any more.)

My understanding is that Commodore is licensing or will license bin and src to AS225 for third-party support and distribution. Dale Larson – An Amiga Software Engineer with less and less time on his hands.
