Do I need to connect the ZX to the NETWORK?

Hello KIA KIA> in new models GPRS modem is less common how so? I'm so far behind life doing ZX? :) and what's wrong with these models instead of GPRS? EDGE? - almost the same. but, IMHO, where there is EDGE, there is also GPRS. or was everything replaced with a blue tooth? somehow unreal... KIA> and it’s quite difficult to understand whether it is there or not.. tell me at least one model (new) - where it is difficult to determine. I'll try it myself.

From Ivan Kuvshinov To All 3 February 2007

Hello Paul_ls I think that LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit is not needed, they’re just like that for Spectrum bandwidth is useless and full integration into local networks to PC too. And all needs are more than compensated for by a connection to one of the PCs from which only later, if necessary, you can pull something out of the general network. PPP via GPRS modem is generally an ideal solution, firstly we get a full-fledged com port through which you can directly connect to a PC, in secondly, due to the small requests for transfer volumes: 4-5 Kilobytes per second - this is simply super and is equivalent to a LAN connection on a PC, in terms of use and needs. And besides, it is a wireless connection and as a bonus we get a “local network” in the form of an Internet connection. In fact, the Internet can use Speccy as a LAN, that is, connect two computers (or more!!) in in neighboring rooms via GPRS of a cellular operator (everything is multi-channel there). At prices of 4 rubles per 1 MB (http://www1.mts.ru/service/access_internet/gprs/internet_plus/) you can for days and use GPRS at night, but for those who want to save money there are always regular modems. At the same time, everyone has a cell phone, although the new models have a GPRS modem It is less common and it is quite difficult to understand whether it is there or not.. but it is not problem, you can even get an old cell phone with a modem for a can of beer.Com port, naturally, to connect a modem must be full-fledged with its own buffer, so that every bit is not caught and nothing is lost, and with an outcome according to power supply, so that you can pair it with any devices without fear.

Therefore, the output must be sockets. Standard, with C-libs. Then just We take any sources from other platforms and compile them for ourselves. jdi> And about the fact that the z80 won’t be able to pull anything except the stack itself jdi> IMHO this is a race, it’s not that heavy. Nobody says that jdi> you need to keep the transfer speed at 100 Mbit, process at least 9600 - jdi> will already be ~1K per second. I doubt that it will be required jdi> higher speed ;) Okay. Agree. Stack at low speeds and with a single ZX 3.5MHz buffer can pull. There won’t be enough resources for anything other than a stack, I assure you. Or for so that there is enough processor left to work, for example, with graphics, someone will write and optimize the stack in ASMA? This is a particularly rare case perversion will result, not to mention the fact that no one except the author (if he master debugging) will never understand this project. There are stacks online on ASMA for 8-bit (I keep links) - they were all written over the years and are still unfinished - abandoned.

From Sergey Akimov To All 4 February 2007

Hello KIA There are already a number of EmbeddedEthernet models ($20..30) that They give the main thing - a ready-made stack, i.e. completely relieve ZX from calculations stack, ZX already works at the upper level of TCP/IP - the socket level. Links by We flew past the forum, though it was a long time ago. Here, for example: http://www.efo.ru/doc/Wiznet/Wiznet.pl?628 There is nothing like this for COM and it is unlikely there will be, and in the case of COM the entire ZX resource will go to TCP maintenance (and will not just have a slow speed, as they wrote here) - and who needs such a "stack for the sake of stack"? And then, in modern conditions, when any provider gives you Ethernet to the apartment at the entrance, Streams and its clones growing like mushrooms - why bother with a modem or GPRS? Or does anyone have ZX-mobile?

From Igor Afonkin To All 4 February 2007

Hello Orionsoft In general, there is no need for a stack for the sake of a stack if it is impossible to access this stack attach any software. Don't put it in every software... As for the fact that the z80 won’t be able to pull anything other than the stack itself, IMHO that’s gon, it’s not that heavy lifting. Nobody says you need speed keep transmissions at 100 Mbit, process at least at 9600 - already ~1K per second it will work out. I doubt that more speed will be required ;)

From Ivan Kuvshinov To All 4 February 2007

Hello John North And so, you look at the phone, it says that there is GPRS, you go into the settings, and there or only GPRS-WAP, which is charged by kilobytes for crazy money, or the ability to have it only through the built-in Browser, since there is no There are sockets for the Data cable. In fact, GPRS on a cell phone is divided into two parts: GPRS (+WAP) and GPRS-Modem, The sellers do not understand the difference between these two concepts at all and in every possible way They claim that a particular phone has a GPRS modem. When in the settings there is nothing similar or there is no communication interface with the computer at all provided... well, it's a bummer, but they are specifically misleading. Moreover, this is also not determined by the box, because everywhere they write GPRS, but To find out if there is a modem there you will have to get into the phone itself. Here, for example: http://sotovik.ru/catalog/phones/pantech/gf210.html#3 Even despite the presence of iRDa, it simply does not have GPRS settings, because it that GPRS, which is WAP, Pantech, this one for 3 thousand rubles is everywhere now. But a phone with a modem, as they say: find 10 differences (only a shoe for I can't find it anywhere) http://sotovik.ru/catalog/phones/siemens/a_31.html

From Ivan Kuvshinov To All 4 February 2007

Hello John North Joh> or was everything replaced with a blue tooth? somehow unreal... Joh> No, I just used to think that WAP and GPRS are completely different things, it turned out that WAP is a type of GPRS, or rather it is most likely a protocol data transmission, working via GPRS, but the second “protocol” is not called protocol, but a modem (if you want a protocol like conventional modems), although in in general, the GPRS module acts as a physical modem, so the second one is simple lowered. And it turns out that in reality there is no WAP without GPRS, but is there any "modem" x.z. because they write about this very rarely.

From DimkaM To All 4 February 2007

Hello KIA Regarding GPRS, you should say GPRS-INTERNET at least ten times if your cell phone has it settings only GPRS-WAP, then it will connect only through it with Internet, from a phone, from a computer... - it doesn’t matter. Pay orders of magnitude more you can pay as much as you want for your WAP (the price is the same everywhere for both GSM and GPRS), and This doesn't suit me.

Hello, Mikka_A If you have ADSL or LAN at home, then the corresponding PC will be connected to it, Mac, Amiga, which will drive gigabyte files through it and into toys over the network play .. accordingly, for any ZX will be connected through another computer, yes to him there is simply NOTHING to do in such an inclusion: PC files will not be driven, in DOOM will cut himself too.. (but he will take up the place of the pussy very much, and therefore, he will be thrown out at the first opportunity: let me get the files through..) If you don’t understand what I’m talking about, now there are cell phones with WiFi, but the most it will be good for is reading the news, and no one will be at home doing this study, just turn on the PC and watch it in normal format. No need trying to replace what exists and what works with something else is not device adapted to this! Regarding resources: if phones can do it, then speck can do it, no brain soar, the Com port is made one two three times, and the protocol is needed such that reach at least some server on which you can pile up something you want to communicate through it, I think that the matter is not limited to TCP/IP? And at the same time, keep in mind that data from com will be removed in batches, so There won't be much stress. And in general, don’t tell me - all resources are available processing some 200-300 bytes per second (which - there will be more technical information maybe in 2-3Kb packages?)Well, besides, why the extra wires and hubs?!! Why is this extreme? powered via LAN killed by the first lightning? (I personally have three routers with this it burned down in the summer, fortunately they had WiFi, but the brother-in-law completely threw out the computer, and then network connection again) And finally, I’ve been surfing the Internet for a long time using only GPRS and I’ll say that if on the PC everything was the same, not demanding in terms of volume, but there was no better interface find, even WiFi requires electricity and a provider who doesn’t want to fix the Internet, which was cut off allegedly because of your viruses..

And besides ICQ, mail, torrent, fido and so on were also written incompatible with anything, and imagine - writing everything from scratch is easier than trying to implement someone’s dumb protocols, which will be implemented (trust me) if necessary.

I have a feeling that a pisyukovite has come, spread his fingers and like I want to from normal guys, but why I don’t know.. And about the fact that his colleagues are PC admins "they're fucking up the wall" in the fight against all this buggy super cool LAN, these firewalls stuck on every corner, hanging DNS and antiviruses without which you can’t go anywhere, which falls off for unknown reasons and does not slow down literally in one direction, because samba is not configured correctly or is crooked.. I’m generally silent about encryption and all kinds of authorizations, not to mention VPN through which it became fashionable to distribute the Internet. Fuck you, my friend, you know it yourself where with your pies. It’s easier to tuck into the pussy through the comport (and on it install Ofigate, Piggy and Vista gates with their new protocols, so that modern networks worked - your business) or even independently via cell phone and not depend on anyone.

Or maybe you're on spec HTML+Java has already messed up, which apparently is not destined for it at all. But you know, not everyone has a dedicated line and many still sit on modems, and whether it’s a cell phone or not, it doesn’t matter, rewind the thread and read it and you’ll get it full of fun. The point is that all Spectrum needs is the transport of its protocols via the Internet, and with modern access speeds and data volumes on Speccy there is no difference between some super high-speed interface and a 56Kbit modem. Here people are campaigning for LAN and they themselves admit that such speeds are not for him needed.

The brakes are mainly due to this, and not because of TCP/IP. A single-tasking OS (acceptably optimized) will fully support TCP/IP (the same channel ppr, as KIA already wrote above), albeit slowly. There were such examples implementation in the same CP/M (which is known to be written in PL/M) on a clock cycle less than 3.5. Unfortunately, this was proprietary software and now there is nothing in free access, not to mention the source codes. But there are amateur ones source codes, I once published links here - now I’m too lazy to repeat myself. And with a hardware stack (in an external controller), everything will fly. The main thing is that regardless of how the stack is implemented - software orThere is no need to change anything hardware in the application software. Not to mention the fact that you get access not only from ZX to ZX (which goes without saying), but also to modern networks (and bells and whistles are a minor matter, that’s why they’re bells and whistles, because their own a heterogeneous network can be built by turning off everything that is not needed - i.e. not implemented in ZX).

In addition, you need know the MSX architecture, because there RS232 support is taken ready-made from ROM.

From Alexander Melnikov To All 5 February 2007

Hello jager I just don’t understand why you don’t like IP so much. Just if they are brought attempts to implement IP on the ZX to a normal form, then this will be very good. Not these crutches will be needed to convert spec traffic into no for transmitting it to another spec.

From Alexander Melnikov To All 5 February 2007

Hello jager For others who are thinking about IP; question; In the following, why exactly do we always run into the issue of OS implementation? Why not make IP as a library and, for example, port it already existing paired games and write new software on top of this library? What do we need will it provide an OS?

From Alexander Melnikov To All 5 February 2007

Hello KIA To KIA for the last time... Yoperny... I don’t understand you, you are one thing or another... if made (dreaming) IP (tcp/ip, udp/ip...) then why the hell and what side is everything here these crutches for converting traffic from ZX to the network... I'm sorry, but I'm I really just don’t understand and it seems that you don’t understand others and me either. the whole problem is the lack of an IP stack, if there is one, then make it work over a modem or lan is another task. write under all this http/pop/smtp protocols, it's not difficult (read rfc/wrote applications), ftp, to be honest, not I read the documents, I don’t know him.

It’s up to the provider drum, I'm not breaking the rules by putting the left IP on the interface that is connected to provider, I don’t care whether he has filtering there or not, he doesn’t see my internal computers, he sees only one of my computers, I have a whole network of 4 at home cars are made that way. In my home network I have the same addresses and I assign them to their internal machines, and the external machine has the address that was given to me provider. So the spec, just like other machines via LAN, will be cut off. That's why I say that the author asked the questions incorrectly. I should have askedmaking a network on IP protocols or inventing a wheel. After all, if you come up with bike, then you still have to come up with application-level protocols. How otherwise will you work?

At the same time, the spec itself does not you need to push in this monstrous LAN and it remains just as easy to understand and friendly, and your cell phone is always with you and this is MOBILE access independent depending on the presence of a PC nearby.

Hello, Error404 Err> You won't believe it, I'm as far from RS as you are from RFC. Err> And I still don’t understand - what side does PC have in the context of TCP/IP? How will you get access to the Internet? I can even summarize: 1. LAN implementation will not allow you to exchange files on the network with “normal” ones computers, because you need to implement Sumba or the like. That is, the usual one The local file sharing network has gone wild. 2. You won’t get Internet from him either (OR IT WILL GIVE YOU YOURS OWN COMPUTER (pc or whatever you have) and only to it, in fact you and you will be connected), since any Internet is not distributed to everyone and simply, which means you will need to get an IP address (in large networks this is always DHCP), be able to work with DNS and Proxy, and for this you will most likely have to go through additional authorization through Web interface, or worse, enter the computer into the domain or connect via VPN... A packet sizes are normal for regular networks (in which the admin has tweaked something for greater productivity) does he eat easily too? Now the question is, if you could connect to one computer via com port, why did you need a LAN that won’t give you anything more?

Hello NovaStorm Nov> Hmm, it seems that for now we are talking about TCP/IP, and such horrors are only on Nov> Windows is there, why do we need them? Nov> Yes, TCP/IP over LAN doesn’t just happen. If you can't stick yourself into the net and set everything up like the Pisyukovites, then you won’t get anything. And for this we need everyone these horrors, on the PC you simply don’t notice them - you cursed, put them where necessary tick and work, here you will masturbate the coders so that they can VPN you organized? That is, you can get something, but for this you need there will be a separate pussy that will do all this and give you personal information, and as such the networks will be closed to you. Well, then why fence the garden? What do you need to communicate with PC comport? And if we talk about TCP/IP without hardware, then there’s no difference I don’t see between the modem and the LAN, it’s the same protocol!

Hello jager jag> I just want to say again, don’t mix protocols with each other jag> IP, application protocols (ICQ, HTTP, FTP, etc.) and how before jag> access the Internet (modem, Ethernet, etc.). It seems to me that questions jag> were entered incorrectly in the questionnaire. I agree that the questions were not formulated correctly, because users What is needed is not protocols, but programs. So, the Speccy<>Speccy connection via the Internet is best solved using its own protocol optimized for the spec (the Internet is needed as a transport network anyway). Next we see that almost everything on the network is not suitable for spec, neither HTML, neither icq nor torrent, that is, it needs exclusive versions and again - no there is nothing difficult about writing them. Moreover: just as there are ICQ gateways to Jabber, InterNet to Fido, etc. in the same way, all this will not be boiled in own juice, but will be integrated to one degree or another with the world services, but at the same time the spec will not lay bones, but will only use everything some servers that will transform content for it into the required form will come with time. And in general, I think it will be enough one physical server to satisfy the needs of all spektrumists, so that anyone can organize it.Well then, why not all these ftp, http, samba and AppleTalk right in the Spectrum?

Hello jager jag> the blonde will figure out how to do this in Windows. And even if Windows jag> says DHCP type on another computer, and so be it, enter any IP from jag> range 192.168.0.xxx (I think that’s what they have) and work... jag> I repeat once again: you can wipe yourself with this number, because the Internet is for you They won’t just give it away - at least write down ten IPs, but to pull the files you will have to add more other protocols. And probably filtering is done by MAC the address of the network card that you gave to your provider, and as soon as you do not give for a normal user to work with his left IP, your head will be turned away.

From Ivan Kuvshinov To All 5 February 2007

Hello jager And the answers are so harsh, because behind the LAN there are so many things that are implied but will not work on Spec due to the lack of implementation (starting with primitive file sharing with other platforms), what can we say about I don't see any point in it. And this universal interface is certainly not will drag because you can’t plug it into any local network, as described above reasons, which were described as "horror".

From Ivan Kuvshinov To All 5 February 2007

Hello jager Now we come to the most important thing: LAN pulls with it all the tricks of such networks hanging on the poor spec completely unnecessary protocols in addition to TCP/IP and all this will work only in greenhouse conditions, because without these this LAN is a bitch; only; Look at the flashing lights. You write first this ftp, and then drive it. With TCP/IP you're right - it doesn't matter the interface. I ask: why the hell do you need a LAN?

Hello KIA KIA> You know, not everyone has a dedicated line and many are still sitting KIA> on modems I know, but there are also those who don’t have a telephone at home (I live in a village, I have everything via an Ethernet cable to the provider (phone, FM radio, porn, and etc.) :-) KIA> The point is that all Spectrum needs is the transport of its own KIA> protocols via the Internet I read the thread at first and it seems like this is the second time. That's the problem, why the hell fence the garden and invent your own protocols. No one says what if If you connect to the LAN, you must work at speeds of 10/100/1000 and so on. Work slower, that's what it's damned for. I just want to say again, don’t interfere with each other IP protocols, application protocols (ICQ, HTTP, FTP, etc.) and how before this Internet get there (modem, Ethernet, etc.). It seems to me that the questions were incorrect the questionnaire was delivered.

From Alexander Melnikov To All 5 February 2007

Hello KIA KIA> How will you get access to the Internet? KIA> I can even sum it up: KIA> 1. LAN implementation will not allow you to exchange files on the network with KIA> "normal" computers, since it is necessary to implement Sumba or KIA> similar. That is, the usual local network for file sharing is gone KIA> forest. KIA> Why? There is, for example, also FTP... If it’s too difficult, you can do it for example something more primitive. netcat foreva!!! :-) KIA> 2. You won’t get Internet from him either (OR YOU WILL HAVE IT KIA> GIVE AWAY YOUR OWN COMPUTER (pc or whatever you have) and only to KIA> to it, in fact you will be connected), since any Internet is not KIA> is distributed to everyone and simply, which means you will need to get an IP address (in KIA> large networks are always DHCP), be able to work with DNS and Proxy, and for KIA> this will most likely require additional authorization via the Web KIA> interface, or worse, enter the computer into the domain or connect via KIA> VPN... And the packet sizes are normal for regular networks (in whichKIA> the admin tweaked something for better performance) it was also easy KIA> eat? KIA> Providers are different, for example, I have two Ethernet providers, and both give direct access to the network, enter the IP manually and work. If someone has a more difficult time, then you can implement access through a large machine, as already written here. In what problem, I don’t understand, probably even a blonde will figure out how to do it in Windows And even if Windows says DHCP type on another computer, well, screw it, enter you any IP from the range 192.168.0.xxx (I think that’s what they have) and work... And if the IP protocol stack is implemented (even if not completely, it is not all we need it for zx), then why argue about what to go through... well, you don’t like it use cheaper data channels, well, use GPRS... After all even with GPRS, you still can’t get anywhere without an IP stack.

Hello KIA KIA> and your cell phone is always with you and this is MOBILE access independent of KIA> availability of PC nearby I'm an idiot, cell phone turns out to be king... why am I using Ethernet? at home... I have some opinions: 1. you are probably an agitator from a mobile operator :-) 2. you are a bad agitator, because you don’t even know the difference between WAP and GPRS, let alone about the rest 3. you were probably greatly offended by the network admins :-) 4. RTFM will help you! Have fun!!! I'm a complete fan after reading the thread... :-)

From Igor Afonkin To All 5 February 2007

Hello Orionsoft In general, ethernet without an “iron” stack, in the form, let’s get it ready, WizNet, is unrealistic. Cards on WizNet cost from $30, and most likely to the end buyer will cost $40-$50 including delivery... IMHO, it’s not worth the candle, although maybe if suddenly someone manages to buy and attach it to the spec, then it will be this dude has great respect and a monument during his lifetime, but he’ll have to stew, most likely in its own juice. The truth will be revealed hitherto unseen in the country spec capabilities, such as dhcp, dns, icmp, there will be a unique mac, and others joys of life. (By the way, WizNet is very well documented.) And yet, the truth of life is this - there are two more or less real ways: 1) RS232 - SLIP - very simple, but not always available. 2) RS232 - PPP - more complicated, but available almost everywhere, here you have both GPRS and ADSL, and just a modem over copper. Hardware - RS232 has been around for a long time. No software. Or almost not... But then the most interesting part begins - the IP protocol. But, it seems to me that this no longer applies to the “Iron” section.

Hello NovaStorm Nov> Heh, I go to http://www.sics.se/contiki/ to read the news, and what am I Nov> see? - "Optimizing HTML for the Contiki Web Browser" Also here are the people Nov> are working, and judging by the frequency of news, they are working hard. Yes, I sometimes read there, it’s interesting... There is, for example, in our thread: http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/ But this Kontiki is very specific... Upon my first acquaintance with her, I it seemed that it would be difficult to borrow from there, although everything is good documented.
