Someone was looking for NET for the Amiga? You can get a copy
of Amiga NOS (network operating system) via anonymous FTP from
sayshell.umd.edu. It should have the version identifier 900214
in its filename. It's designed for amateur radio TCP/IP use, but 
you can also attach ethernet, 3Comm, etc. and run it on a network.
It's been working flawlessly for me at 44.56.0.22 paul@wa1omm.ampr.org.
The archive contains all sources.

Some more news to you folks who have been asking about using the Amiga
for FAX transmission and reception. Available NOW for $299 is a product
from AEA, Inc. (206-775-7373) called AVT (Amiga Video Terminal?). It
sends and receives FAX, WEFAX, and 55 modes of slow-scan TV. The
hardware interface has connections for 5 transceivers/receivers/tape
recorders, and 1 telephone. It's all menu driven and accepts all
forms of IFF input. I believe it will transmit a color image in 12 sec.
over the telephone. Looks like a winner. Since I have nuttin' to do with
AEA, I suggest you contact them directly for more information.

LHARC is now out there with a nice intuition interface. Appears to run
much faster than the CLI version.
