TCP/IP isn't really a file-oriented protocol, actually. It's
Packet-oriented. That's why you have to run services like FTP,
Telnet and NFS over the top of it to get any useful human-level
transmission happening. TCP/IP is a transport.
That's what makes it perfect for AMOS... if we can get hooks into
it at the socket level, we can establish real-time network
communications between different machines.
The TCP: device which Branko was talking about, is something with
which I am completely unfamiliar. Maybe it's some kind of handler
which sets up a virtual drive over a TCP/IP link.. I dunno. Sounds
really useful, but it still won't allow AMOS to transmit
commands and data using sockets.
Ciao for now.
