Re: TCP/IP Over Serial

Does anybody know if the Amiga is capable of doing TCP/IP over serial?  I know it might be only slightly, if any faster than a dial-up connection, but is it doable.  I have read about using a C64 user port and connecting to a serial port on a PC, and running a server application that converts the TCP/IP and sends it over the serial connection.  I am just wondering if I could do this with my A2000.  There is an ethernet card on Ebay, but, it is very expensive.  This would also give me another thing to mess around with :) , and if doable, another option for everyone without buying a high dollar ethernet card.  

Thanks,
Jeff

Sure is...

You just need MiamiDX or AmiTcp with Miami's PPP device. You can get those off Aminet i believe.

I was trying to do just that with a serial bluetooth adapter on a 68000 Minimig (so I was using Amitcp because Miami needs 020+) and never got it to work because I was using windows as the PPP server, or 115200 was just too fast ... gave up one day...

this thread is where i left off...

I was using Dial-up on my A1200's back in the day :) so 100% possible.
