Does anybody know if the Amiga is capable of doing TCP/IP over serial? I know it might be only slightly, if any faster than a dial-up connection, but is it doable. I have read about using a C64 user port and connecting to a serial port on a PC, and running a server application that converts the TCP/IP and sends it over the serial connection. I am just wondering if I could do this with my A2000. There is an ethernet card on Ebay, but, it is very expensive. This would also give me another thing to mess around with
, and if doable, another option for everyone without buying a high dollar ethernet card.
Thanks,
Jeff
I have one of these:
http://www.retroswitch.com/products/flyer/This gives my C64 full net access via serial for IRC & Telnet (also acts as a virtual 1541 disk drive) - would be great if one could be made for Miggy's!

I've Asked Brandon if he could make a Parallel version for the Amiga but haven't heard back from him yet. :cool:
