TSSnet DECnet by Thunder Ridge, Inc.
Now your Amiga can become a Phase IV end node in a DECnet network! Communicates over the Amiga serial port as well as Ethernet. Fully SANA II compliant so other protocols which support SANA II such as TCP/IP can run concurrently on the same ethernet card. Both Ethernet and serial connections provide multiple concurrent Virtual Terminal sessions on any other nodes on the network, using the DECnet CTERM facility. VT100 terminal emulation is provided, or use your favorite VT compatible Amiga terminal program such as VLT .
Supports X windows, allowing you to run VAX DECWindows applications, as well as X clients running on other Amigas or any node supporting X over DECnet.
NCP, Network Control Program lets you intuitively control all aspects of your node's connection including line speed, buffers, statistics, and security.
NetMail allows full mail access to DECnet networks.
NFT, Network File Copy enables you to copy, list, print, rename, delete, type and submit command files across the network.
Task to Task Communications provides an AmigaDOS device for communicating with tasks on other DECnet nodes. Full documentation is included for this easy-to-use programmer's interface to TSSnet.
