Does anyone know if the Trumpet stack (hmm, is it even
free?) is
mirrored for download anywhere? The main Trumpet website is inaccessible
(at least from here - I get 'forbidden' errors, but it may be that my
ISPs web proxies have screwed up yet again)
huzzah - it seems that their FTP site is still up and running, even if their
website is still broken (thanks go to google's cache feature for letting me
find out that they do have an FTP site :)
Plus, it All Just Worked (tm)... I stuck an Etherlink III board in the box and
the packet driver under DOS found it without having to mess around with
parameters, then the Trumpet code (ntcpdrv) found the packet driver without
trouble. I passed in IP params on the command line, and it all seems happy; I
can ping other machines on the LAN and other machines on the LAN can ping the
DOS machine. FTP seems to work pretty well too (although I haven't tried a
speed test yet)
My ultimate aim for this box is to integrate some FTP client code and serial
console control with ImageDisk, so that I can have a 'headless' disk imaging
system on the LAN - but for the moment just not having to sneakernet disk
images around will be a big plus...
cheers
