Well, after humming and harring over wether it's worth the asking price.
Seems over the top for me I finally decided to purchase Roadshow.
Paid, and the next day received the download link. One thing I noticed is you get to download it 5 times, and that there is a short expiry on the link.
Always scares me a little with digital downloads like that. So have backed it up.
Had a scare recently with my whdload key I purchased and they couldn't find my email and purchase of it. But in the end managed to find my whdload.key! Another thing to back up :-(
Anyway roadshow, it's the fastest connection I've had to the internet via an Amiga. Plus no dropping out like other stacks.
Configuring it seemed daunting at first but a mediator config file had been provided.
So ran the install and dragged over the mediator config file, rebooted and I was on the internet :-)
WHDLoad was easy too, using whdload-cleanup/startup I could easily turn it off and on.
S:network-startup = starts it.
netshutdown = stops it.
Fantastic, easy to install (with the provided config files) and very quick browsing speeds. Just need a decent browser, a shame netsurf locks up on me.
Now if only I could get WHDLoad to work with the Voodoo card I'd be a happy man :-)

Yep, fast stack indeed. My only problem with it is that starting it on the Workbench isn't very reliable, causing seemingly random crashes at startup. Until that's sorted out, I'm sticking to MiamiDX :(

I like the organisation of the config files into DEVS: where they should be. I also like the low-level tools that show the packets communicated etc. It is clear he put a lot of work into making this software just right and for that reason "I'm in".

Haven't had any crashing? It's been rock solid for me, with Miami I was having drop outs and had to keep restarting it.
The huge amount of tools with Roadshow is impressive, makes it as useful as the Windows shell tools :-)

Does it come with a tool for NFS shares? I haven't looked too hard at it, but from my brief glance, it didn't look like it.
I know anfs is out there on sourceforge, but I haven't created a gcc environment yet to be able to compile it.

Couldn't see anything there for NFS, just the ping/network config tools etc. :-/
