Hi, Yesterday I found the following great news that Amiga 600 users are now using Fonera 2.0g to have their Amiga 600 become a webserver connected to the internet.....
PS : It's very slow (9600baud)... the Amiga 600 only has 1Mb of RAM.... (in comparison : the Fonera 2.0g has 32mbyte of ram...the Fonera 2.0n has even 64mb ram) The recipe according to Developer Ferix: Ingredients: -* A fonera 2.0g router (in developer mode)* - *A serial to USB adapter and the corresponding module (driver).* - *Extra slip module for the fonera (compiled by me).* - *Some slip tools & scripts for the fonera (compiled and wrote by me).* - *Some extra iptables rules for the fonera's firewall (added by me, included on the scripts above).* - A null modem cable. - An unexpanded Amiga 600. I've installed a 64Mb CF as HD, but you can built It from floppies. - Workbench 2.x+ - AmiTCP 4 (demo version, of course). - If you want a webserver, add the arexxwebserver package... Preparation: - Plug all cables and machines together. (fonera usb port<---> USB to serial dongle <---> Null modem cable <---> Amiga 600 serial port) - Turn on the machines. - Install all the stuff into the fonera and restart It. - Run Workbench. - Install and configure AmiTCP to match your network settings using slip protocol. - Configure arexxwebserver if you want It - Run AmiTCP. That's what I did, and It works like a charm. Of course, It's very sloooooooooooooow... But I's amazing what you can do with a 1Mb Chip Ram machine. Now you can do networking betwen your slip machine (the amiga) and your wired and wifi machines, and/or internet too... The only advice: The most reliable speed I got with serial.device was 9600 bps. You can use 19200 bps if you want, but you'll lose a lot of packets (about 25% on my tests). You can use also cslip instead of plain slip, but It gives no much speed increase, and a bit more of cpu power load... Extra tip: Baudrate: 9600, hardware handsake (7 wires or CTS/RTS) MTU: 576 source : http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?p=541421
