Termite TCP ???

[melott]

I'm having a problem with Termite TCP.
I know its not widely used (copyrited).
I've been using it for about 15 years,
but haven't been on-line with my Miggy
for a couple years now.
A few days ago I updated IBrowse to 2.4
and tried to go on-line.
It appears that Termite isn't conpatable
on the net anymore as I'm having a problem
with both IBrowse and Yam.

Anyone know what the problem is with Termite ?
Is it a setting or what ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated ........

You sure your dialup still works?

Yes... its working.
I can connect with the PC so the modem is OK and
I can connect with the A3000, but thats about it.
When I try to connect to email at my ISP it can't
find the address. When I start IBrowse it takes
forever to get my ISP home page, if I can even get it.
It seems by what is happening that somehow Termite may
not be compatable, but WHY, (a setting maybe)?
I tend to think Termite should still work.

I have the OS 3.9 cd w/Genesis, I tried it a few years
ago when I first bought OS 3.9. I kind of thougt Termite
was better at the time, maybe I should try it again.
I would still like to know what the problem is with Termite.
I've tried adjusting the settings but that didn't seem to
help.

I know very little about termite, but perhaps it is not configuring the DNS server correctly?

While connected, try using IP addresses (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) instead of URL's?

Yes... I'm going to give that a try .........

Whatever happened with Termite? I know the author, or at least the owner of the source code, was trying to sell the code a few years ago. If it were available, it would/could be the only currently developed 'classic' stack, as far as I know.

A Termite update  :-D

I found my problem. My ISP had changed their DNS numbers
several months ago.
Termite requires the correct DNS address in the settings.
After I inserted the correct address everything works great.

IBrowse ver.2.4 runs MUCH faster than expected (exceptable).
Now I just have to see why Ver.2.4 isn't excepting the key.
Its running the Demo version.
I am a reguestered owner of ver 2.1.
Anyone have any ideas about the key problem ?

It's a shame that Termite TCP is for dialup (SLiP/PPP) only and doesnt support ethernet (SANA-II).

You cannot register V2.4, it's a demo only.

I know that from Amiga Future, I translated that text.

No .. thats not completly correct.......

If you are a reguestered owner of ver.2.xx (paid for the
upgrade from ver.1.xx) then the 2.xx key is supposed to
open the full version of 2.4.
Thats the way I understand IOSpirits memo.
Am I wrong ??

I'll check on that (read the docs)
Termite does support networking but I don't remember all
the details .....
I'll check the docs and post it.

I don't know what the IOSpirit site says, but they no longer sell IBRowse anyway.

And here is what Amiga Future had to say about 2.4 IBrowse:



An version of IBrowse 2.4 is already installed, which exhibits some restrictions, however, and cannot be activated to the full version using a keyfile.



So, I don't think it can be upgraded. I also seem to remember that being said on the IB mail list, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

@ wurzel

That might be the OS4 OEM version. The plain downloadable demo will work with any 2.x keyfile.
