"	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.

For anyone else whose nameserver cannot locate sayshell.umd.edu, its IP
address is 128.8.2.88 (found in the lochosts.txt file on trantor.umd.edu)
and the contents of the pub directory on sayshell are:

FYI, sayshell is a NeXT running Mach 1.0.  FTP transfers from sayshell (to
Silicon Valley) peak around 5 kbytes/sec.

The ``Net'' program also supports SLIP and other goodies.  The only docs
in the zoo file(s) are the comments in the source code.  The code purports
to support any serial.device on the Amiga (500/1000/2000) and the executable
``Net'' program is included in the zoo archive.  Looks like a very interesting
package!
