74 AmigaNOSFlavors
AmigaNOS and AmigaNOSGW are Amiga ports of the PD TCP/IP package for MS-DOS called "ka9q". Note that there are MANY versions of "ka9q" which tends to make them somewhat unstable, since they have so many variations.
AmigaNOS is a program that will allow one to participate in the Internet (or any TCP/ IP network for that matter) via one of two dial-up TCP/IP protocols: SLIP or PPP. It also works with HAM radio equipment.
Both programs are a single, integrated "package" of the required TCP/IP protocols (e.g.; TCP, IP, UDP, etc.) and some TCP/IP applications/commands (e.g.; Finger, Telnet, Ping, SMTP). Though the required file structure may seem daunting at first, it is actually simpler to set up than is AmiTCP.
Both AmigaNOS and AmigaNOSGW are very close in capability and can be considered equal, in general, for TCP/IP. The main differences between the two versions is that Graham Walter's version, AmigaNOSGW, comes with an external Gopher client program and has an ARexx port.
