Hi Niels,
I have very little networking experience with OS-9.
All I ever did is setup the ISP, and I used TCP/IP and TELNET to communicate
with a WindowsNT server and a Windows workstation running Beame&Whitehead
TCP/IP software. All I can say is: it worked!
I never tried socket connections etc., so I can't be be of much help with that.
I don't think there are gonna be many problems with that though.
In general, my opinion about OS-9 is that it has many flaws and weaknesses, but
it's still a good bang for the buck when you use Motorola CPUs. For Intel CPUs
I would rather use QNX as a lowcost OS. OS9000 is a piece of shit, it doesn't
even boot on many PC's.
Jost
