Subject: 1.1 - What is AmigaNOS

NOS was originally written for PCs by Phil Karn, a radio ham whose callsign
is KA9Q (the software is often referred to as the KA9Q software). It was
designed to allow hams to run AX25 (a modified version of X.25 for amateur
radio) and TCP/IP over their packet radio modems. It now also supports
TCP/IP over ethernet lines and serial lines, and as far as I know also
has support for other protocols like Net/ROM (ham radio) and PPP.
AmigaNOS is an Amiga port of it, currently maintained by John Heaton, a UK
radio amateur. Its not exclusively for hams, it works very well as a
general network package for PCs, Amigas, Macs etc. I've used it to
connect PCs to Suns, and intend to do the same with an Amiga/Sun connection.

Subject: 1.2 - What is AmigaNOS used for?
A great deal of people use AmigaNOS over serial lines (with or
without modems) for file transfers and telnet connections. The other
facilities are of limited use unless you are a ham radio operator.
I (<mcr@sandelman.ocunix.on.ca>) use it to connect my Amiga and Sun 3/60.
I have an ftp login that connects me to the MSH: device. This lets me
stick 720k MSDOS disks in my Amiga and transfer things (usually things
I've ftp'ed at school) directly to the Sun.
In order to make use of AmigaNOS' SLIP capabilities you need a host
to connect to that is willing to do SLIP. Just having AmigaNOS doesn't
get you on the Internet.

Subject: 1.3 - How do you get AmigaNOS to dial?

Subject: AmigaNOS that dials for you
Message-ID: <9208312108.ad08954@gate.demon.co.uk>

Reply-To: steve@donald.demon.co.uk
There is now a modded version of AmigaNOS which will dial, and log on for you.
Very useful for slip connections over a modem link.
Available from gate.demon.co.uk (158.152.1.65) for anonymous ftp, with
the filenames

If you have a Hayse compatible modem, it can be programmed
to (or not to) drop the line when DTR is dropped. Since all
terminal programs release the serial device when they are existed,
the DTR is droped. What you can doe is issure the command to
your modem, if supported, to not drop the line when DTR is dropped.
I hope this helps,

From: dkf8117@tamsun.tamu.edu (Duane)
The reason that your carrier is dropped when you leave a terminal program,
is that your modem is not set so that "DTR ALWAYS ON", refer to the
manuals, but I imagine its a dipswitch setting...

I have NOT put these into AmigaNOS, because I have no need for them on
Packet Radio.

Subject: 1.4 - Where can I get documentation/source/binary?
If you can ftp, look on ucsd.edu under /hamradio/packet. Look for
the PC documentation, as there is little that is fundamentally
changed.
/hamradio/packet/tcpip/amiga will usually have the latest binaries
and source.
John Heaton also has source and binary kit available for anon-ftp
available from jh.mcc.ac.uk (130.88.202.27). Unless you are on John's
side of the big sink, you would be better advised to try ucsd.edu.

Does this mean that I should have no problem (hee, hee) using
AmigaNos to connect to the SLIP system at school over a modem?
Does this also mean that I can buy GfxBase's X server and use
it over said line?
Inquiring minds want to know!

As said above, yes, AmigaNOS will let you do SLIP. How usefull this
is uncertain. It does let you have multiple sessions, and you can do
background file transfers.
No. GfxBase will not run with AmigaNOS.
There is no NFS server or client in AmigaNOS. See question 2.1.

Subject: 1.8 - How do I install it?
From: john_h@fs2.mcc.ac.uk (JOHN HEATON)
Message-ID: <john_h.18@fs2.mcc.ac.uk>
All the files relating to AmigaNOS, are normally under the device TCPIP:
i.e,
directories:
TCPIP:Finger
TCPIP:Spool/HELP
TCPIP:Spool/MAIL
TCPIP:Spool/MQUEUE
TCPIP:Spool/NEWS
files:
TCPIP:Spool/areas
TCPIP:Spool/forward.bbs
TCPIP:AmigaNOS
TCPIP:ftpusers
TCPIP:Domain.txt
TCPIP:alias
TCPIP:nos.rc
etc....
If you want a full list then let me know.
Cheers, John.

Subject: 2.1 - Does it come with a library gives you socket calls?
You can't interface GfxBase's X server because AmigaNOS does not
provide any kind of standard TCP/IP library interface. Commodore
hasn't really released one yet. Although they do have TCP/IP software
for their network board, I don't think it does socket.library yet, and
AmigaNOS doesn't talk to socket.library anyway.
AmigaNOS is one binary and multitasks internally (but not with
AmigaDOS' help). You have to remember that NOS stands for Network
Operating System. On NOS' native PC environment when you remove NOS
all you have is a sophisticated program loader, NOS provides
everything else.
To add a new client or server to NOS, one must recompile the whole
program. On PCs, the NOS people are currently hitting the 640k crunch
very hard. Fortunately, we don't have this problem.

Connection, EXCELAN TCP, and CMU) as transports.
The current version of ANU NEWS is 6.0-3 with the Bill Glass patches.

4. Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I acquire a copy of ANU News?
A: ANU News is available for anonymous FTP on sao.aarnet.edu.au (Australia)
and kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (Kansas, USA). Other sites may also have it
available. Please use the site closest to you. There are two versions
available: a normal backup saveset and a LZW compressed version of the
backup savesets. VMS LZW programs are available on kuhub.cc.ukans.edu
also and through DECUS. For network load reasons, it is preferable if you
acquire LZW and the compressed version of ANU NEWS.
