Is this SLIP or PPP?
Neither. It's a well thought-out (and documented!) protocol for interface
between small 8-bit machines and modern hardware. There's nothing
specific to the CoCo - that just happens to be the first implementation.
I just looked at it on sourceforge. It seems like the same setup of a
Lantronix UDS or Wiznet-type device. Those are a little more portable.
In some respects. But those don't give you the virtual disk drive services
that drivewire offers.
For the Commodore users out there, you might want to look at the Comet
from
http://www.commodoreserver.com. They've got a
new driver out that
allows for a 38.4k transfer rate on the USER port, which is a
pretty big
deal on a Commodore 64. I've got a Comet and it works VERY well.
