A1200 internet

[Lurch]

On the A1200 it's a pretty manual process. Even DHCP doesn't always work, although not a big problem as you can obtain all the information from your router or PC :-)

I use prism2v2 for WPA2 and Genesis for the TCP/IP stack which works really well. But I still have to manually enter in the TCP/IP details when I first set it up as DHCP refuses to work.

25 euro for a TCP/IP stack just to get working DHCP... let me think... ahh noo :-)

Easier to just enter an IP address, it's not that hard.

Have a registered copy of ibrowse though, although it needs an update in displaying HTML :-/

LOL Even if it's supporting the Amiga platform 25 euros for a TCP/IP stack is insane. It should be part of the OS, good thing there are just as good alternatives out there.

WHDLoad is a different story, and it's also a reasonable price. It's not a requirement of an OS.

The alternatives are not the OS but other stacks. I find Genesis / AmiTCP to work fine, comes with the 3.9 disc like it should.

Or Miami....  

"Linux" is free :-) The "distribution" you choose may not be, especially if you go the Red Hat way.

Use to support Red hat way back, the first distribution I used was 4.1. Use to be $60NZD tops but now these days Red Hat is become a greedy company :-) But like everything there are alternatives.

Even if you're on a corporate network there are other options.

It is one thing to use software that you cannot pay for (MiamiDX and IBrowse-2.4 are examples)

I use Ibrowse without a key as it is the right thing to do, as there is no such thing (legally) as abandonware. 30 Minutes is fine by me, close/open away you go again.

yes I mean BOTH WHDLoad and RoadShow, as well as new hardware, I vote in favor of supporting it.

I'm happy to say I support WHDLoad and have purchased a key. This is a great piece of software that makes a modern 1200 work really well :-)

I purchased many a new piece of hardware, ACA 1231, Indi ECS, Indi AGA Mk2 etc. The only items I believe are over the top price wise is the Indi's. These should be cheaper, but they do a fantastic job and are the only hardware I could find that would do the job so a monopoly it is :-)

A flippant remark that €25 is too much, means it is too much for You!   Roadshow68K took months of work and a lot of support in the forums to be trashed by users who never tried it.

Flippant is the wrong word there, "Not showing a serious or respectful attitude" Does not some up what I said at all.  So not sure what you're getting at.

25 Euro's is over the top for a TCP stack and a lot of people also agree they just choose to not say anything as what usually happens when one does, one gets shot down by the vocal minority.  

And I personally have not trashed it as you wrongly put it, I just stated it's over priced. If it was $15-$20USD I'd purchase a copy.

I get tired of the over pricing that the Amiga world get's hit with. This is a niche, a hobby which a minority are out to gain what they can from.

Compare this to the Commodore 64/Atari world. A shame I am not a fan of both, as I'd have saved my self a lot of money and have an 060 Falcon by now :-)
