Then you can use Miami, AmiTCP v4, or Roadshow. They all work great with lpr.device.

Under OS3.9, I could never get AmiTCP V4.X to install and work; I used Miami with a keyfile until Roadshow came along, and I've been using Roadshow ever since.  OS4.1 comes with Roadshow.  My secondary reason for purchasing Roadshow-68k is to support the development of new software for the Amiga.

[Network speed tests have so many variable factors involved that comparisons would be mostly inaccurate.  IMHO, if it feels fast to you, then it is fast]

Circling back to this thread...

I actually ended up getting a second XSurf because I couldn't decide which machine to put it in. So now both machines will get one :)

At any rate, tonight I installed one in my A2000. It's a fairly low end machine - not enough RAM to give browsing a try. I don't have a network port in that room, so I've actually got it connected to my iBook G4 using OSX's internet connection sharing. On the Amiga side, I opted for MiamiDX simply because I know how to configure it quickly. Was pinging out to the interwebs in just a few short minutes. I came extremely close to installing Roadshow - I may give that a try later on to see if I can stretch my small amount of RAM further with it.

My ultimate goal is to get Envoy working so I don't have to sneakernet files from one machine to another. Routing through the iBook may make this task impossible, but I still have some more tricks up my sleeve.

At any rate, if someone knows of any shell-based or other lightweight network speed tools I'm happy to give them a try. I'll do some download speed tests once I install the other card in my 4000T.

EasyNetPro will be an upgrade option for customers next month- it is bsdsocket.library v4 compatible so will work with the lpr.device


My Xsurf arrives today, great service from your company.

What is the ETA of bsdsocket v4 so I can print via lpr?
