I would like to step into this discussion, 'cause today i got a working
NMS1250 modem with RS232c interface built-in. Since this message is posted
long ago, i quoted all of it.
What I made up in this discussion: A tcp/ip program for MSX exists. It was
made by converting C code to a running UZIX-program. Some people don't like
the use of uzix, because it doesn't support HD. And some RS232-interfaces
are not supported.
Now I am wondering: Why can't the C-code be adapted to MSX-compatible
C-sources so that it'll run under DOS(2) ? Is that such a huge amount of
work that it'll be easier to code all the stuff again?
When finished this, a (G)UI should be 'a piece of cake' for experienced
MSX-coders i guess.
Grtz,
(not-a-coder) Siebe.
