- IMPORTANT NOTE!

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is another PLIP device driver. PLIP means Parallel Line Internet
- Protocol. Originally based upon the plip.device released by Oliver
- Wagner and Michael Balzer, this version has been completely rewritten.
-
- The main distinguishing features to the original version include
-
- * Much more line security through machine independent timeout handling
-
- * Option to omit CRC checks
-
- * MTU 256 Bytes to 128KBytes
-
- * SANA-II special statistic counters
-
- * Much better configurable, especially with regard to slow systems
-
- * Major code cleanup, including the removal of assembler fragments,
- globals, errors
-
- * Several protocol stacks may use magPLIP simultaneously
-
- * Installer script
-
- * AmigaGuide® online documentation
-
- Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide® document to obtain further
- information about the installation and usage of magPLIP.
-
- You should install this software package by using the supplied Installer
- script. If you have any suggestions or comments please contact me:

-
- Release 37.8
-
- * bugfix: magPLIP can be used by multiple protocol stacks simultaneously.
-
- Release 37.7
-
- * Improved packet type tracking
-
- * SANA-II special statistic counters
-
- * Improved documentation
-
- * schematic drawing included that shows the cable wiring
-
- Release 37.5
-
- * on early startup time the MTU reported to protocol was not yet
- the customized value but the default setting; At least Envoy
- had problems with this bug
-
- * Frame buffer handling is now done dynamically, MTU can be set to
- values up to 128K. A large MTU increases performance for large
- data transfers such as in a file-server system.
-
- * Code more robust against initialization errors
-
- * ENV: settings are better checked for validity
-
- Release 37.4
-
- * Some documentation changes
- * minor changes in the transfer code
-
- Release 37.3
-
- * Timeout handling is now system independent and gives a great
- improvement to configuration and line security
- * ARBITRATIONDELAY no longer used, but supported for old config-files
-
- Release 37.2
-
- * Significantly better performance (transfer routines rewritten in
- assembly language)
- * internal code cleanup
-
- Initial Release 37.1
