Spiro and I have actually been in contact quite regularly during his excellent work with the TFE emulation, and we've just been discussing porting the TFE emulation to *nix. The problem with the tap device is that it doesn't exactly provide the same functionality as the pcap libraries. The tap device basically creates a virtual LAN, while the pcap gives direct access to the physical LAN (the one on which the PC is connected to). Under FreeBSD it might be possible to use the BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) to get the same kind of access as the pcap library under Windows, but I don't know if this is available under Linux. > > I never looked at the rs232 emulation, so I'm not sure if it heavily uses > > Unix features or not.

(ofcourse making certain visual improvements that > require 2ghz machine are more important, i can understand that :=P) I sent an email to the vice developers list a few months ago about the RS232 bug, and got a reply a few hours later with a patch :-) So it should be fixed in the 1.13 version. > > there are different UIs for Linux (xaw, xaw3d, Gnome, ...), which one(s) > > is/are affected? > > no fuckin' clue :o) i personally avoid using *nix filerequesters of any sort > since they are mostly unuseable for me (*nix gui developers seem to hate the > term "intuition" :=P) I think the Gnome version is pretty usable, but the xaw and xaw3d are simply terrible... I think that most old-school *nix gui developers actually hate the term "user" ;-) /adam -- Adam Dunkels <adam_at_sics.se> http://www.sics.se/~adam/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
