I'm happy it's going to be available, if it takes a little while longer that's OK with me. :)

WOOT! I've definitely been looking forward to this, thank you! :pint:

FWIW, I'm no expert, and it took about 10 minutes to have IBrowse up and running with my A4066 (just a slight edit of the Ariadne interface). Lack of a GUI is really not a problem at all.

I'll try tweaking the config over the next few days, then run some tcpspeed tests against Miami. So far it works well - noticed my MP3 streams don't hang during the initial buffering process, as they often do with the other 2 stacks.

so whats so difficult about it if it is so easy? i really dont get it..

jason mcmullan when he introduced prnter support for aros wrote quickly a gui for it, without any experience with mui/zune before. arostcp has a working prefs gui, i can set xsurf device on my a4k and it works.. so why an oldskool amiga developer cant write a simple prefs gui? maybe the problem is delegating it to others who actually dont get it done. maybe doing it self is the fastest and most secure of choices. i for my part would expect a tcp stack for twenty bucks to come with a gui even if basic one. im not bashing here, its just my opinion.


Absolute worst case scenario, you have to edit a text file and change a couple variables. Should be a cakewalk for anyone still tinkering with 68k Amigas.

20 bucks (if that is indeed the final cost) yields 1789 kB/s here to my A4000 with a DENEB and USB stick, you certainly won't get that kind of performance with Miami or AmiTCP.
