Ethernet chit chat...

[dex]

I was considering some QLAN-to-Internet router (simply a computer or embedded device with Ethernet/WiFi and a QLAN socket, which can have QLAN addresses assigned to various IP addresses or to physical local QL network).
But I stopped, as the timeout on QLAN seems to be too short to receive response from distant station in time.

Then I started to play with iWFi ConnectOne module, which in fact behaves similarly to WizNet (with different commands - AT modem style in ConectOne, html-like tags in WizNet).

Hi Dex,

Have you tried Jonathan Hudson's QPOP3 software with iWFi ConnectOne module.

QPOP3 looks nice, but I'm not so familiar with C to rewrite it.
ConnectOne module supports common protocols and has AT command to send mail, and AT command to get a mail, so it is possible to have a simple mail client written in Basic.
However, now I'm playing with file downloading and Gopher protocol, not mail.

Plus, I guess if we could ever get a hold of Di-Ren (Robin Barker where are you ??) - we could truly launch something like Fleet Tactical Command - which was always designed to run on several QLs and other computers linked together - unfortunately via the QL Network or Amadeus Interlink.....

Ok, if this ever comes about and we can play Fleet Tactical Command across the net,
I want to baggsy the player name of "Captain Chaos"
