Has anybody gotten Contiki to work on the ST?

[mrdweeb]

I've been using Contiki on my C64 with a 64NIC and it works great for telnet, web browsing etc. I found a port on this site for the ST, but can't get it to work. I have the netusbee.

Please post the link so we can look and help.

It seems that the Contiki Atari port is an older Contiki version which only supports RS232 as network device.

Sorry, I may have gotten the file from this thread

Also, how would I get online using rs232? Sorry I'm so ignorant about networking.

Excuse me, there are some ways to communicate via RS232 with an external pimodem (from @SolderGirl ), or via null modem cable or RS232-WLan adapter (to rebuild from @czietz ) for example with the internet. But if and how it works with Contiki... I have no idea.

Depends on what you want to do.
Transfer files? Check this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_28LFmyKoQc
Direct internet connection? Try STiNG TCP/IP Stack.
I don't think there is a telnet<->serial driver available for telnet BBS's, but i might be wrong.
Since i use the PiModem, i have not searched very far.

Try STiNG TCP/IP Stack.

Nice try, wonder how you expect that to work on Contiki

there is, just search for "tcpser". You run it on a different PC, that is connected to the Atari via Nullmodem, and then connects to some BBS that accepts connections via Telnet. But this is just suitable to connect to such BBS, it is not a general TCP/IP converter.

Of course it would run on TOS, not Contiki.
But from the initial Post, i guess @mrdweeb is just looking for a way to get his ST online. And STiNG would do that

That is what the PiModem uses. But is there something that runs natively on TOS?
On DOS/PC there is rlfossil, that emulates a serial port over telnet via ethernet. But i don't think you can use a BBS Terminal software to connect to telnet BBS over the netUSBee directly.

from what i understand, he is specifally looking for a way to get Contiki online, and the rs232 is the only interface supported there. For TOS, there are other options than using a serial interface.

But i don't think you can use a BBS Terminal software to connect to telnet BBS over the netUSBee directly.

I never tried, but that program just encapsulates the data into telnet protocol. That probably means you can connect to anything that has a telnet server running.

Very interesting discussion. Thanks for all the information. I will let you know of any success.
