Hello,

   I use ethernet boards and software for two years now.

   The Ameristar Software was not very good but working.
   The beta version of C= was not very good but working.
   The release 1.0 of  C= is not very good but working.

   Nothing is working fine but all is working.
   I sent a list of bugs to C= but no reply for now (2 month)

   My questions: does C= sit on Unix and does not upgrade their very
                 buggy AmigaDos IP software ?
                 does C= imagine that they will  sell Amigas without
                 a solid network software to professional market?
                 does C= think about their SANA architecture or was it
                 only an idee?

    I have a A3000UXD and few A2000 with ethernet. The only machine that
    can really use ethernet is my A3000 under Unix.
    rcp rsh ftp telnet rlogin are buggy under AmigaDOS
    socket library is quiet undocumented (I asked C= to explain me how
    to ask IP if a connexion is pending without having to accept() but
    no reply for two month)

    C= has a lot of work with their Unix and V2.0 developments but
    networking is one of the MOST important subject if you want to sell
    machines to professional market (imagine PC's without Novell today).

    PLEASE SEND ME THE ACTUAL STATUS OF NET DEVELOPMENTS.

    Milan ZOFKA
