- From what I've heard the peer to peer works over tcp/ip layers,
- which is good, but it does NOT include telnet, ftp, nfs, rsh
- and company. i.e. it'll network Amiga's but it won't Internetwork
- with other systems. I assume they'll sell a package that
- adds telnet and company tho.
-
- Hopefully it would ship with sana II drivers for serial, parallel,
- SCSI and ethernet so all you'd have to do is buy the hardware you
- need to make it work.
-
- Has anybody heard whether the peer-to-peer networking will allow
- export and import of resources like printers and other arbitrary
- devices? Or if an add on package with telent, ftp, rsh etc would
- also include lpd so AmigaUNIX systems could be used for printing,
- or make use of an ADOS machine's printer?
-
- OS/2 and PC-NFS allow access to network printers and it's annoying that
- the Amiga tcp/ip software can't do this, either through lpd or by using
- rsh with stdin; HINT, HINT, HINT! I heard tell of a C= internal ADOS lpd
- hack, could this be put into the next TCP/IP release?
