Roadshow is magical
2mon 3d ago by feddit.org/u/DmMacniel in amiga@sopuli.xyz from roadshow.apc-tcp.deI'm running a plipbox on my Amiga 600 and was until recently using Miami DX for connecting to the Network and Internet; but was frustrated that it took nearly 2 Megabytes of Fast RAM and also disconnected after a while for some reason (turns out I was simply using a trail version, but the MUI never stated it as such)
Now I tried Roadshow another TCP/IP stack which doesn't use UIs and is instead configured and installed via CLI. And now the magical thing:
As soon any application calls bsdsocket.library (which is the library used for opening/closing/sending/receiving packets via tcp/udp) Roadshow will activate (and only consumes 300kb Fast RAM) and transparently enables network communication.
Roadshow also comes with a whole suite of networking tools like ping, ftp,...
so all in all the asking price of 25 Euro is absolutely worth it, when you want to bring your classic Amiga into the network.
