Best TCP Suite

[kolla]

Out of curiosity, has anyone thought about using the BSD tcp/ip stack with Amigas?  At one time, BSD (up to 3.2) was on Amigas.

Hm, not sure what you mean with "up to 3.2", but latest NetBSD 5.1 officially supports Amiga.

He probably meant OpenBSD, which supported Amigas until version 3.2

Really!  My google-fu must be weak...

EDIT:  Sho-Nuff!  http://www.netbsd.org/ports/amiga/

I did.  But still, NetBSD still supported.  That is pretty sweet.  Although I wonder how many days it would take to compile Eclipse for a NetBSD A4000 :lol:

Genesis is based on AmiTCP 4.5

More precisely Genesis is a GUI for AmiTCP/IP.

I think the question is a TCP-stack under AmigaOS not a TCP-stack builtin into *BSD..

Yes, that is what I meant.  I've been away so long I was wondering which was the best, or which are the best, for the Amiga Classic.

An explanation of which each one is would be good too... it sounds to me like a lot of them are merely config pages built around AmiTCP whereas Miami(DX) is a full suite unto itself?

I use AmiTCP. It's supposed to be hard to set up, but there's a guide floating about detailing the exact procedure. I'll try to find it later! The most obvious benefit is that it's free, and as far I've used it I can't really say that it's missing anything I'd want. I've been using it for FTP and some casual browsing with AWeb on my A1200 + 8mb Fast RAM.

I think that Amikit sells a prepackaged version of this stack that's easy to set up and configure, but with the guide I mentioned, it's really not necessary.

On WB 3.0/3.1, I've been using AmiTCP 3 (something version 0b2??  Not at my Amiga).
It's text files to setup (the GUI install works to a point), but once setup, it's OK...
It's (version 3) the last free version, 4 has registration/nag screens, but works (30 minutes or something like that?).
AmiTCP 2.x is easier to find and works, but there are a few things that want version 3 or higher...
I haven't tried any of the SSL stuff with it, I just use it for basic browsing (aminet mostly) and FTP and it works great for that...

I seem to remember that easynet is also AmiTCP3, but I don't use easynet..
(I like text files  ;-)
