This article is from the Amiga Networking FAQ, by Richard Norman with numerous contributions by others.
* A link to the Internet
* Any Amiga running AmigaDos 3.0 or higher.
Aminet is the place to go for all the rest of this stuff!
* Amosaic V1.2 or higher (latest is available on max.physics.sunysb.edu)
* MUI 2.0 or higher
* TCP/IP: AmiTCP, INet 225, DNET, TIA, MLINK, MIAMI, TermiteTCP, etc. (see
below)
* For modem connections: SLIP (included with AmiTCP) or PPP
* INetUtils (optional adds SMTP, etc.)
* FTPd (optional allows inbound FTP)
* The following utilities are used by default by Amosaic, but you can
use others: amisox, edplay, zgif, ams
They are available via Amosaic once you get it up and going.
Summary of TCP-IP software solutions:
Two new entries are TermiteTCP and Miami . Both stacks are designed with "ease
of use" in mind, and are primarily targeted at the home user who is dialing up an
ISP by modem to connect to the internet.
INet-225 is a new product from Interworks which will provide full TCP/IP
connectivity plus includes several other useful applications.
AmiTCP is a shareware product and a demo version is available on Aminet. AmiTCP
can be a bear to install, but now there are install scripts on Aminet, and I've
added a section to try to help demystify the process. AmiTCP will provide full
TCP/IP connectivity.
DNET may be more useful if you are connecting to a UNIX host, but I have no
direct experience with DNET.
IF all you can get is a shell account on the UNIX host, then TIA or MLINK
will be of interest.
Of course there are other options as well such as AmigaNOS.
