Short: SANA-II parallel port driver Author: groeger@gundel.zdv.uni-mainz.de Uploader: groeger@gundel.zdv.uni-mainz.de Type: comm/net magPLIP - SANA II compliant PLIP device driver for AmiTCP/IP, Envoy, AS225 and other networking packages (C) Copyright 1993-1994 Oliver Wagner, Michael Balzer (C) Copyright 1995 Jan Kratochvil & Martin Mares (C) Copyright 1995 Marius Groeger All Rights Reserved. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTE! PLEASE READ THE UPGRADE INFORMATION IN THE SUPPLIED AMIGAGUIDE® DOCUMENT! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is another PLIP device driver. PLIP means Parallel Line Internet Protocol. Originally based upon the plip.device released by Oliver Wagner and Michael Balzer, this version has been completely rewritten. The main distinguishing features to the original version include * Much more line security through machine independent timeout handling * Option to omit CRC checks * MTU 256 Bytes to 128KBytes * Much better configurable, especially with regard to slow systems * Major code cleanup, including the removal of assembler fragments, globals, errors * Several protocol stacks may use magPLIP simultaneously * Installer script * AmigaGuide® online documentation Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide® document to obtain further information about the installation and usage of magPLIP. You should install this software package by using the supplied Installer script.

A large MTU increases performance for large data transfers such as in a file-server system. * Code more robust against initialization errors * ENV: settings are better checked for validity Release 37.4 * Some documentation changes * minor changes in the transfer code Release 37.3 * Timeout handling is now system independent and gives a great improvement to configuration and line security * ARBITRATIONDELAY no longer used, but supported for old config-files Release 37.2 * Significantly better performance (transfer routines rewritten in assembly language) * internal code cleanup Initial Release 37.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is Freeware, but not in the public domain.
