MultiLink (working name): Proposed feature list.
This is what I have planned for MultiLink. The first version may not have
all of the features listed below, but eventually I plan to incorporate them
all into the package. Things take time...
o Uses BSD sockets as it's interface.
- Both stream and datagram type sockets supported
- Connect to servers on the Amiga, on the Remote UNIX host, or
on any other host connected to the internet (with the proper
client).
- Accept connections (server sockets) from local clients on the
Amiga, or remote clients on the UNIX host, or any host on the
internet.
- AS225R2 and AmiTCP shared library emulations.
o Robust serial link protocol
- Up to 64 simultaneous channels.
- Prioritized channels
- robust byte escaping protocols (for goofy lines :-))
- Error detection and correction.
- Auto-bps rate adjust for maximum interactive response and
thruput.
- auto-renegotiation. Can change many options WHILE the link is
running for performance tuning. Can reestablish a broken
connection with the UNIX host.
o Easy setup and use
- Easily compilable UNIX code.
- GUI prefs program.
- All options determined locally on the Amiga and transmitted to the
UNIX host on startup. (no more diddling with command line options
on EITHER side).
- GUI status commodity. Keep track of the link, adjust priorities,
change options runtime.
