How do you use a modem between two Amigas?
This is a basic tutorial on how to setup modem sharing between two
Amigas- the server (connected to the modem) and the client. You
will require a TCP/IP stack, such as AmiTCP or Genesis. This will
also work with Miami although it has not been tested. A name server
is also required on the server machine, otherwise the server cannot
resolve anything. One can be found on Aminet. A 9k download in comm/tcp called
named.lha
- Firstly configure AmiTCP on the server machine so that it can
establish a ppp/slip connection with your ISP.
- Configure your client so that it can connect via a serial link.
Give this machine an IP number, for example, 10.10.10.2.
- Add the following line to the user-startnet on the server:
amitcp:bin/ifconfig
<interface> <ip-server>
<ip-client>
So, if you were using the example IP number above it would appear
something like this:
amitcp:bin/ifconfig cslip0
10.10.10.1 10.10.10.2
If everything went fine, AmiTCP will setup this second connection
after the connection to you ISP. You can test it by typing 'ping
10.10.10.1' in a shell on the clientside and 'ping 10.10.10.' on
the serverside.
Using Genesis is even simpler. You simply add another device in
the prefs program. You'll need to go to: Provider, Interfaces.
There youll see your ppp/slip device which connects to your ISP.
Here you'll need to add a new interface.
Using Genesis you can individually connect the devices. But
you'll need to change/add the line: 'Gateway = YES' in the
AmiTCP.config file. This should be done by both AmiTCP and
Genesis.
After you set up the main part, it is time for the socks-server.
This is straight forward, all you have to do is read the
manual.
