Hi Derek, > Did your email system on the Q60 use a TCP/IP stack through an ISA > Ethernet Card in the Q60 ISA slot.
Yes. The program was quite nice for the time, but it has no SSL encryption, so connecting to a mail server could become problematic today. My provider has announced that it soon will reject all but SSL encrypted connections. > I think you said in the QL Forum, that there is a CP2200a in the Q68. Yes, but no "a". CP2200-GQ is the exact order code. > Could C ported programmes be suitable to run on the proposed system, I > wonder... Thats what I did in case of webbrowser and servers. It was not straightforward, but doable. This way you won't get a nice GUI however. So in case of the email program, I did it the hard way of writing pointer environment software. Later on I implemented a new QDOS GUI, derived from DEPUI, which completely replaces the Pointer Environment. It has some potential to allow easier porting of C written GUI programs. But finishing and documenting it, was beyond the time I could spend. I hope to be able to demo some of stuff we talk about at "QL is 30". Depends on wether I find the time to set up a portable Q60.
