Title: Need to find Term
Post by: Munchkin on April 29, 2018, 03:45:05 PM

Aminet seems to have some big issues, can't access it, so i wonder if anyone knows an alternative site where I can find the latest version of Term to download.

Doh, I completely forgot to check mirrors. Been to long since I played with my Amigas.

Thanks!

Noticed that afterwards. I've been away from my Amigas for to long, I've started to forget things. :(

I have my own ipv6-only Aminet mirror that I access via from Amiga using MultiView... magic :)

EDIT: Like this, on my Minimig v1.1... :D

IPV6 on an Amiga? How do you manage that?

I guess internet facing it's ipv6. as you can see in the screenshot the amiga connects to an class c ip 10.x.x.x.

Yes, correct. As I may have mentioned a few times, I build raspberry pi zeros into my Amiga systems, but in the case above, the Minimig is actually connected to a G4 Mac Mini (running Gentoo/Linux), over bluetooth using a small RS232-BT adapter, using the excellent PPP implementation that Roadshow offers. The Amiga is 10.99.0.2, while the Linux has 10.99.0.1 on its ppp0. :)

The Linux system acts as web proxy and hence take care of the IPv6 issue for http (and ftp), and I have it set up with legacy rsh and telnet services on the ppp0 interface, so that I use those protocols to access shell resources of the Linux system from the Amiga.

For example, when I search Aminet, it sends a command to the Linux system over rsh, which then downloads the Aminet INDEX and performs- grep (the standard unix "search" tool, for those don't know) on that for the search input, formats the result to AmigaGuide formatted text which is what the Amiga gets in return, saves in a file and shows it using MultiView. The AmigaGuide is formatted with avariables assignments associated to the Aminet links, variables that on the Amiga expands to commands for downloading files and readmes, for saving and reading. Phew :D
