Best TCP Software

...
The default installation puts Roadshow on the boot partition, along with a short script which is called from "S:User-Startup".
...

This reminds me of something I always use with MiamiDX:
Getting the actual date and time from the web and updating the system clock with it...

There once was a small tool available on Aminet for MiamiDX, that automatically retrieved the actual date and time from time servers on the web.
This only worked with MiamiDX - I have no idea if there is a comparable solution available for one of the other stacks.

I need this feature, as I removed the battery from my A4k mobo.
MiamiDX is started upon each boot (WB-Startup) and once it is online, the little tool from aminet makes it connect with a web based time server to get the actual date and time and then sets the systems date and time accordingly, if sytem date & time differ too much from that.

Up to now I never heard of comparable solutions for other stacks.

And he, like so many with him, thought of Amiga as a "market" rather than what it is,

Hmmm - back then (when Holger Kruse left) the Amiga Scene deserved the label "market" rather than today...

The TCP/IP stack should be integrated into the operating system and become practically invisible.
...

Up to now I never understood the advantage of having the TCP/IP stack integrated into the OS.

You don't believe that would make the AmigaOS more secure, do you?

In this day and age internet should just be available after you installed your OS.

To me this rather seems to be someone's personal taste than a profound answer to my question.

And when I installed OS 3.9 the last time, I was asked if I also want to install Miami (demo version - on OS 3.9 CD, IIRC) as tcp/ip stack.

As my answer to this was "Yes", OS and Miami were installed concurrently and internet actually was immediately available after the installation and after I entered my credentials in Miami...

To be exact, demo version of Miami was on OS3.5 CD. OS3.9 had a full version of Genesis.

Thanks for the correction - that was what I meant.
I was not sure and could not check it here from work...

But it demonstrates that one could very well have Internet access after installing the OS and the TCP/IP stack in one go and filling in the credentials...
