Poll: Which TCP/IP stack do you use for classic Amiga?

Hi just a quick question, does Genesis  offer anything more than Roadshow  because it appears to be popular, best wishes Brian.

Genesis has a pretty good GUI which Roadshow does not. This comes at the cost of some memory though. The original Genesis is 109840 bytes (I have an edited version that is 92820), GenesisPrefs is 184232, GenesisWizard is 126240 and AmiTCP.020 is 122748. Then there are various ClassAct gadgets and such that need memory so you wouldn't be able to do much without several MB of memory (more needed for a browser). Roadshow has easy to use scripts and configurations which save memory but are not as easy to use as a full GUI. 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?

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.

What do you mean with "semi-modern TCP/IP " (with view on MiamiDX)?
What do the others offer that MiamiDX lacks?

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. It was fairly advanced for its time but it was never finished, some functionality is buggy and it is slow. The GUI was the best at the time but now Genesis and EasyNet also have a nice GUI. If MiamiDX is working fine with your current setup then there is not a big incentive to upgrade but I wouldn't recommend it for people needing TCP/IP software anymore.
