This article is from the Amiga Networking FAQ, by Richard Norman with numerous contributions by others.
AmigaNOS and AmigaNOSGW are Amiga ports of the PD TCP/IP package for MS-DOS
called "ka9q". Note that there are MANY versions of "ka9q" which tends to make
them somewhat unstable, since they have so many variations.
AmigaNOS is a program that will allow one to participate in the Internet (or any
TCP/ IP network for that matter) via one of two dial-up TCP/IP protocols: SLIP or
PPP. It also works with HAM radio equipment.
Both programs are a single, integrated "package" of the required TCP/IP protocols
(e.g.; TCP, IP, UDP, etc.) and some TCP/IP applications/commands (e.g.; Finger,
Telnet, Ping, SMTP). Though the required file structure may seem daunting at
first, it is actually simpler to set up than is AmiTCP.
Both AmigaNOS and AmigaNOSGW are very close in capability and can be considered
equal, in general, for TCP/IP. The main differences between the two versions is
that Graham Walter's version, AmigaNOSGW, comes with an external Gopher client
program and has an ARexx port.
AmigaNOS is by John Heaton available by FTP from 130.88.200.4
AmigaNOSGW is by Graham Walter available by FTP from newgate.demon.co.uk
