Amiga Etherbridge Project

General

The Etherbridge Device is an SANA II compliant ethernet driver for AmiTCP/IP, Miami or other networking package. Your Amiga can use cheap PC network cards in conjunction with an Commodore Bridgboard (A2088, A2286, A2386) for his own TCP stack. The package is Freeware!

Features:

• "Amiga SANA2 Release 2" compatible
• Supports the "New Style Device commands" (NSD)
• Starts PC side server program and (ms)dos packet driver automatically if needed
• Buildin packet tracer
• Works with Commodore Bridgeboards A2088, A2286 and A2386
• Works with every PC network card (you need the right PC/MSDOS packet driver for it)
