Hi,
I just have uploaded the newest version (1.22) of our TCP/IP software
to the server sun5.iaee.tuwien.ac.at (fortec.tuwien.ac.at) today.
We use it to connect our ATARIs to SUN workstations. 
It is based upon (Ethernet) packet drivers hiding the hardware from
the IP layer, so it can easily be adapted to different ethernet cards.
At present we use Ethernet cards from Riebl Germany for our 
MegaSt and TT as well as a Dlink DE600 pocket adaptor which connects
to the cartridge port of each ST via a tiny, self-made interface 
(some small hardware could be used to connect it to the parallel
port too).
Packet driver sources (Pure-C) are included, as well as some
application programs we have written.

Peter.
