Norway Ethernet Module

[platon42]

As told before, the Norway is an extension to the Highway or Algor USB cards. If such a card is already in your machine, the Norway is a dead cheap add-on. Moreover, this combination will only take away one zorro slot in total (even considering the height!). And with the Algor FlashROM option, it will give you the possibility to speed up the initial boot and to boot AOS4 from the FlashRom (officially supported by Hyperion), when AOS4 is available for the classic PPC equipped computers.


As about cable modems: It should work, but this depends on some circumstances:
a) your cable modem has to be able to negotiate with 10MBit ethernet (99% of them are). If not, you will need to plug an 100MBit switch inbetween (~15 EUR), if you haven't already got one. BTW: This is the case for all other Amiga network solutions, because there is not a single 100MBit card for Amigas (not including PCI cards).
b) your TCP/IP stack has to support the protocol. Most such cable modems will just use TCP/IP, so this will work straight away. Others might PPTP or PPPoE, requiring MiamiDX or Roadshow -- other stacks do not have this wrapper protocol support.

I've been using the Norway for more than two years now, switching between various cable modem ISPs, and I all got them working
