I have a quest that has probally been asked a whole bunch of times... That is
what is the best way to get my Amiga set up for cable Internet?
I'm currently running on an A4000/040 in a Power Tower with a PicassoIV and
AmigaOS 3.9. My local Cable provider is Charter Digital.
I was wondering what would be the best hardware/software I would need to hook my
system up properly. I was told that a good router would take a lot ofthe hassle
out of things, (I was thinking of one of the Linksys ones.) But I was wondering
about what would be the best ethernet card. I am thinking about the X-Surf or
X-Surf 2 from Individual Computers. The only problem I see is that I think it
uses the cable that soemwhat reminds me of a coax cable (RJ-45?) This may not be
a problem if I can find a suitable router, but I also have a Sony PS 2 and a
Nintendo Gamecube that I'd want to hook up as well. They use the cable that
reminds me of an over-sized phone cable (10/100???) Are there current good
router that use both? Would this work well for what I want to do? Oh an by the
way, I also have Miami (not the DX version though,) registered and have been
using that for my dialup connections...
