Irc, Internet on X68000 using null modem cable
This article is a kind contribution by our forum member Neko68k. Thank you for shedding light on this rather grey area !
First of all you will need to download these:
| Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Driver | pppxr5.lzh | (PPPX) |
| TCP/IP Driver | TCPPACKA.LZH | (INETD) |
| RS-232C Driver With Buffer Control and Hardware Flow | TMSIO031.LZH | (TMSIO) |
It might also be useful to install TwentyOne (long file name support) if you haven't already.
- unlzh PPPXR5.lzh
- put PPP.SYS in \SYS
- put PPP.X KILL.X and PPPX.BAT in \BIN
If you install PPP.X anywhere else, be sure to modify the first line of PPPX.BAT to point to that directory.
I found it helpful to add a line to the end of PPPX.BAT:
inetdconf +dns 192.168.0.1
You have to do this anyway so might as well just make it happen. This is to point at your dns server, I used the IP address of my router.
- unlzh TMSIO031.LZH and put TMSIO.X in \BIN
- unlzh TCPPACKA.LZH and merge the folders it contains with your existing \BIN \ETC and \MAN
- edit \ETC\networks and \ETC\hosts to reflect your actual network. for example:
# # /etc/hosts # 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost 192.168.0.11 x68k x68k
# # - /etc/networks # 127 loopback 192.168.0 private-net
