A3000UX to AmigaDos Networks

[Jason Goldberg]

Well after recieving some very patient help from Martin Hunt and Keith
"Cheese Whiz" Gabryelski (both from Commodore), I was finally able to get
my A3000UX to AmigaDos network up and running.  Gee, usenet is better than
the MAN pages :-), it turns out that I made the stupid mistake of assigning
my A3000UX an address which ended in .0 and that was not a good idea.

Now that everything is working let me just say that a network of Amigas
running AmigaDos is really cool!  We have a store which has several
different Amigas each dedicated to a different application (A3000 DTP,
A2500 DTVideo, A2500 BridgeCard/Amax, etc...), we put a CBM Ethernet card
in all of them and installed the TCP/IP software, then we connected them
all via thin cable to out A3000UX.

Now not only can we use the A3000UX as a file server (which is very fast,
BTW) but we can share files between all the machines, plus instead of
cluttering the HardDrives on every machine with the same software, we need
only keep one copy on the A3000UX.  It makes for some great demoing
capability.  We can scan a picture on the DTP system in 24bit color, then
go over to the DTVideo amiga, grab the file and display it with DCTV or the
Toaster.  Likewise, I can print on the PostScript Laser (connected to the
DTP system) from an application running on our Amiga running AMAXII and the
BridgeCard.  I highly recommend it!

I also just wanted to thank Keith and Martin for all their help...
