- Is the network card (NIC) attached to the OS by a "*.device"? Is that all there is needed to be able to use a card from the OS? Or are additional libraries needed?
You need AmiTCP itself of course, and then the .device file for the card. The .device is configured as the interface in AmiTCP.
- Is AmiTCP or any competing TCP/IP solution available as a single "*.library" or several libraries? How are there tied to the device?
I don't know whether this is what you're looking for:
http://aminet.net/package/comm/tcp/AmiTCP-api-22Any pointers/guides/explanations/tutorials greatly appreciated!
AFAIK the interface to the TCP/IP stack is exposed as bsdsocket.library, so you might benefit from researching the functions of that library.
