I have an X-Surf 100 in my A2000 and love, love, love it.  



I have a 10/100 mBit PCI NIC in my Mediator PCI busboard and love it, too.

Yes, I'm using it with Miami DX but what can I say?  It was super-easy to set up with the GUI (Roadshow, I'm looking at you with your no GUI), I can run it in startup to go online as soon as my computer boots,
...



I'm also using MiamiDX. Setup was easy and as MiamiDX is located in WBstartup, it starts each time I boot and also gets the correct date/time from an online time server. No leaking RTC batteries anymore...

So, what do you use?



As I already mentioned - MiamiDX, as well...

EDIT:
Does one of the Miami competitors also offer the functionality to get date/time from the web upon boot and to adjust your system clock accordingly?

Roadshow, Genesis and EasyNet should all be fast and offer semi-modern TCP/IP for the Amiga.



Do figures exist regarding the speed difference compared to MiamiDX?
What do you mean with "semi-modern TCP/IP " (with view on MiamiDX)?
What do the others offer that MiamiDX lacks?
All the best,

There have been several threads on EAB and here with transfer speed results. Miami and MiamiDX have consistently done poorly. Genesis/EasyNet/AmiTCP 4 has generally been the fastest. The Roadshow was a little behind Genesis but may use less processing power and may have been improved.



Must try to find one of those threads...thanx for the hint...

MiamiDX is now one of the oldest TCP/IP programs as far as updates. Dial up was still popular at the time of the last update.



Yeah - can remember that. I was still on dialup myself when I bought and registered Miami and MiamiDX...

It was fairly advanced for its time but it was never finished, some functionality is buggy and it is slow.



From my inquiries back then I know MiamiDX actually was THE most advanced TCP/IP stack at the time.
What is unfinished about it and which functionalites are buggy?
I never experienced anything of it - neither bugs, nor unfinished parts...

The GUI was the best at the time but now Genesis and EasyNet also have a nice GUI.



It was just last weekend that I got EasyNet CD from Amikit.
I bought it just in case MiamiDX stopps working one day because of some changes to the TCP/IP protocols...

If MiamiDX is working fine with your current setup then there is not a big incentive to upgrade



Since I got it over a decade ago it works like a charm - never experienced any trouble with it.

Quote from: matthey;772189


but I wouldn't recommend it for people needing TCP/IP software anymore.



???
Why not?
It still works perfectly...
All the best,
