Hi, MSXers.
I'm proud to announce a new release, 0.1.7, of UZIX.
Some highlights:
- kernel enhancement;
- some kernel bugfixes;
- better module handling (now the local ping wastes only 100ms!);
- more robust handling for module 'orphan calls';
This version 0.1.7 has also a new TCP/IP Stack version. Some
highlights:
- better system performance;
- some module bugfixes;
- two new applications: chat (see below) and mailf (POP3 e-mail
reader);
and the most important
- dial-up connection to the Internet;
YES, now you can connect your MSX to the Internet, dialing
directly to your ISP using a modem!
Tests were made in Brazil and Netherlands (thanks, Alex Wulms!)
and were successful. Here in Brazil I connected to two big ISPs ("UOL" and
"Terra") using a 2400bps modem and was able to do ping, telnet,
ftp, resolve domain queries and read e-mail from my POP3 account.
For those who forgot, the UZIX home page is at
