If it works on my tt030, then it *should* work on any atari with an rs232 port, I would think? It should be reasonably fast, too. The tt's com port is good for 115,200 kbps and that, in effect, would be the bottleneck in the whole circuit. So I think I can assume 115,200k sustained throughput over ethernet. I know that there are hw hacks out there which can greatly increase the performance of the tt's com port as well. I don't think 300-400kbps is out of the question here.
I do forsee one little problem. The product lit makes no mention of dhcp support. How do I make it (the serial bridge) talk to my dsl modem? Am I going to need to setup a peecee as a proxy? Also, what software do I use on my tt. The tt would see all incoming packets in rs232 form, so would I just set everything up as if it were a regular modem (albeit a very fast modem!) hokked up to com1?
