I currently do not have Ethernet no!
I was considering my options BEFORE I ws ted any money.
The most useable option that I have managed previously, is Simple Serial Port using Slip. I have had fantastic result in connecting to both Linux and Warp4 ( yeah, seriously ). Now, this is through Serial, so I dont really get the benefits of Ethernet, of course I dont, and I dare say the TT wont be too hot at BB, but previously, having been only connected to the internet with my normal Modem ( Which was a task in itself ) I wanted to know more.
I no longer have Dialup, just broadband, so its no longer a simple matter of seetup the TT like I have to setup my PCs, now, its a whole new ball game.
Ok, I will try those links, see what happens yeah?
The Midinet idea was fine by the way... I thought this idea some time ago, and at the time, me and a mate had 286 PC, and I had a couple of STs ( This is going back a fair while isnt it? )
Now, we had one program for xfering between 2 PCs called LapLink... Its still going today, but of course, they are nothing like each other, and as I had done a fair bit of Midi Programming previously, we though about getting 2 STs to talk to each other over Midi.
As I said, I had done a lot of similar programming before, mostly the code I had been working on, was real-time Midi Filtering where one ST was the seqquencer, which went through a second ST, that did some stuff, and then on to the Keyboard.
This stuff was a bit of this bit of that, and although what we got was sometimes cool, it was never really perfect.
Silly things like stripping channel data, and sending it to just one, or taking certain key events and changing them, maybe up an octave, or the bottom half of the keyboard tpo one channel, the upper half to another, that kinbd of thing.
So, when it came to creating a basic network over Midi, we did manage to make up a very good network indeed, but it was not all that useful, we never did manage a good TSR type app that we could... Well, TSR!
We worked on the ACC type, but again, its not iven us enough control, given the confinements of ACC Programming, couple with our skill ( or rather, Lack of ), and in the end, the best we managed was a HiSoft Basic program, that we never got working enough to even bother attempting a compile and proper run, but hey, it worked.
LOL Oh I miss HBasic!
