For the brave of heart, you can get beta test versions of Phil Karn's
KA9Q NOS software for the Amiga via anonymous FTP.  It is on the host
Sayshell.UMD.EDU, in the /pub directory.  Look for files named something
like "amiganos-900214.zoo".

[Mild flame on:
For those of you with brain dead machines that can't query the domain
name system, the address of Sayshell.UMD.EDU is 128.8.2.88.  It
astonishes me that there are hosts on the Internet today that *still*
can't use the domain name system.
Flame off.)

This is beta test software.  There is no documentation except the source
code.  Please don't send me mail asking how to set it up or what the
files are supposed to look like.  I'm making the code available for people
somewhat familiar with the NOS code to test is on an Amiga platform, and
send me bug reports and bug fixes.  Unless you really want to spend some
time figuring it out, please wait until the official release version is
available.  I don't know when this will happen since the MSDOS version
that serves as the porting base is still changing.

The Amiga version of NOS supports pretty much all of the functions that
the DOS version does; including SLIP support.

The "release" version will also be available for anonymous FTP and also
on a Fish disk.

Oh, and please don't put "poster" in the followup: header line.  That's
for newsgroups, not cutsy stuff like that.  Since this question has come
up a few times before, I decided to post the response.
