<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As always - fantastic job! The iso works well
and exactly as described and reponds to pings automatically upon boot.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Out of interest here as some ping test results
comparing timing between SqueakNOS, my virtual vmware router and another
physical server elsewhere on my network which is more than 1 hop away (i.e.
soft. router -> 11g wifi -> GigE switch -> GigE NIC on
server).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Ping from Gentoo (virutal) workstation to a real
Gentoo Linux server in differnet LAN segment:
<STRONG>6.0ms</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Ping from Gentoo (virtual) workstation to
Squeaknos (virtual) workstation: <STRONG>300.0ms</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Ping from Gentoo (virtual) workstation to Vmware
Router/Default Gateway: <STRONG>0.7ms</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As you can see Squeaknos (test 2) is presently
performing rather poorly compared to the other two tests although it is far too
early at this stage of development to read too much into this.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well done Gera - you are a wizard!</FONT></DIV>

networking is working!</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>> hi! we just released a new .iso image. We should have released it a
few<BR>> weeks ago, as there are some bug fixes and additions in the native
part<BR>> (for example, FFI is included now), but we delayed it a little bit
to be<BR>> able to release an image that can be pinged over the net
:-)<BR>> <BR>> download form:<BR>> </FONT><A

face=Arial size=2>> <BR>> The first Networking driver we have is
LanceNICDevice, with support for<BR>> AMD 79C790 cards, as emulated by
vmware, what means that the .iso image<BR>> can be booted in a vmware and
pinged :-)<BR>> We included networking support as implemented mainly by
Luciano a while<BR>> ago, all his work is now available as a Monticello
package from<BR>> </FONT><A href="http://www.squeaksource.com/Net.html"><FONT
face=Arial size=2>http://www.squeaksource.com/Net.html</FONT></A><FONT
face=Arial size=2>. Although we have only included the<BR>> Packet and a
quick hack to respond to ARP requests and ICMP echo<BR>> requests, support
for most of the protocol in the TCP/IP suit is ready<BR>> and only has to be
plugged into SqueakNOS.<BR>> <BR>> We are working on improving the support
for this network card, adding<BR>> new cards (probably RTL8139 is going to be
the next), and adding and<BR>> improving all TCP/IP support.<BR>> <BR>>
As usual, in this .iso you'll find everything needed to boot and test<BR>>
the system (either directly from the CD in a real box or with vmware),<BR>>
and to rebuild everything.<BR>> <BR>> enjoy as much as
possible,<BR>> if you have any questions, as usual, don't
hesitate to ask.<BR>> gera<BR>>
