How many eight-bit micros are there with TCP/IP implementations?
I can only think of the C64 and the MSX.
For the C64, there are AFAIK two implementations. One is a "normal" C64
program, with some clients for telnet, IRC and FTP, IIRC. The other one is a
UNIX look-a-like called Lunix, which will een handle ingoing telnet calls on a
slip line.
I believe both are available at
http://www.heilbronn.netsurf.de/~dallmann/c64.html
As for the MSX, the one implementation I know of is UZIX, which is about as
close to an eight-bit UNIX you can get. Its homepage is available at
http://www.dcc.unicamp.br/~adrcunha/uzix
I've heard some talk about a TCP/IP project for the Spectrum, as well.
Then there is the Ethernet card for the Apple II. Which protocols does it
support?

There is a PPP/TCP stack for the Atari 8-bit which allows you to connect
to a PPP server over serial/modem, but no servers as yet. You can use it's
terminal program to run a browser on a system like NETHER.NET. Nether is a
Sunos5.4 system out there that give free shell acces..

It is in development. The webpage says it will eventually run telnet and
ftp. Right now, all you can do is get a connection and ping. That is a lot

Well, Zilog is _heavyly_ marketing Z80ish CPUs for network

not only a stack, but also most basic application like

Ah the infamous apple 2 ethernet board.
The thing was designed, ethertalk support was written into the Apple2GS kernel,
and then the board was dropped before production and all references to it torn
out of GSOS. The apple2GS world *still* whines about this, even though they
have a tcpip stack of dubious quality that can supposedly do PPP (although
I've never seen it actually work). The guy who developed it is a real
jerk too, and has gained a following of other jerks. Between this and the
fact that my father gave up on his GS and bought an iMac, you have the reasons
I gave up on the apple2 community.

I was refering to a product Apple designed but never
released when I was
talking about the ethernet board. The TCP-IP stack came from a third party
about 2 years ago and is called Marinetti.
I was actually referring to a new Ethernet project. There should be more info

It appears to have been built and costs $155.

I've often wondered how difficult it would be to
use one of my Mac
SCSI Ethernet boxes to put my IIgs on the net. I'd need to reverse
engineer the interface and then hack Marinetti to support it (assuming it
is actually release open source).
People have looked into doing this for the Atari. I know I'd love something
like this for my Atari TT030. Unfortunatly no one has gotten it working as
far as I know.

New subject: Ethernet on Atari ST's (was Re: TCP/IP on eightbitters)
There is ethernet for any Atari ST. It's a modification of a printer-port
interface for PC's. You build a simple card that propogates a couple of
signals not available on the St's printer port through the cartridge slot.
At the very least it is supported by MiNT and MiNTnet. If you need help
with MiNT, let me know. The TCP/IP stack in MiNTnet is complete and has
servers. I think you might even be able to run an Xserver to another
station using it.
I've got MiNT and MiNTnet on my Mega4 and have succeeded with PPP over an
external modem. The only reason why I haven't built the ethernet
modification is that the printerport ethernet interface costs something
like $100.00 and I can't justify that yet.

It uses the most commond type of Xircom parallel port ethernet adapter and

You might beat me with a Google search.
You're TT might be even easier since it has a hotter printer port than the

Xircom, are you certain? What model? I found two today at a underground shop
(where I bought a PCMCIA NIC which sadly wouldn't function on my Amiga).
You're TT might be even easier since it has a

In what way? Speedwise?

Try finding a MegaSTE or TT at an affordable price. Anything in the Atari

This came up a while back on one of the apple2 newsgroups. At least with the
ramfast scsi interface, there were apparently showstopping issues - the
interface was designed exclusively for disks and didn't implement some part
or other of SCSI needed for the ethernet device.
