Individual Computers: New xsurfadsl.device with appp update
A new version of the xsurfadsl.device, the PPPoE driver for our networking
card X-Surf, can be found in the support-area of our website. For the first
time, the archive also contains an updated version of the appp.device that
has been licensed from Haage & Partner
(see article from November, 12th).
The source code of version 2.7 that we got from Haage & Partner was different
from the binary that is being sold with the Genesis package in OS3.9 (V2.3).
Questions about the changes between the two versions could not be answered
until now. The new version provided by us (V3.1) has been updated mainly on
internal structures: The device-base code (the interface to the OS) is
completely re-written, so opening up to eight units, and freeing all
resources after closing them (especially memory) is ensured.
Therefore, we also recommend installing the new appp.device, even
if you do not own an X-Surf Ethernet card.
At this point, we want to draw your attention to the ISAcatweasel.device,
which allows using the PC-Catweasel under Amithlon. Since we have not been
able to run Amithlon on any of our computers, we depend you your help in
testing. The new archive is now packed with LHA, so difficulties with
unpacking the ARJ archive are eliminated. Adapted Catweasel mountlists
should make the installation a lot easier. (ps)
