Folk,
A 3c905B works in Oberon. This is from the PCIScan.Text.
Bus 0, device 10, function 0: class/rev 02000030, vendor/device 10B79055, status/cmd 02100017
Class: Network controller, Sub-class: Ethernet controller
Vendor: 3Com Corporation, Device: 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone]
IRQ3, INTA
128B I/O at 0000FC00 - 0000FC7F
128B 32-bit memory at FEDEEC00 - FEDEEC7F
In Aos 2007-06-26 (ie. release prior to current crazy),
AosConfig.XML has this.
<Section name="NetConfig">
<Setting name="IPForwarding" value="FALSE" />
<Setting name="EchoReply" value="TRUE" />
<Setting name="PreferredProtocol" value="4" />
<Section name="IPv4">
<Section name="AutoNetConfig">
<Setting name="Enabled" value="FALSE" />
</Section>
<Section name="Interface">
<Setting name="Device" value="3Com90x#0" />
<Setting name="Name" value="localv4" />
<Setting name="Domain" value="pathology.ubc.ca" />
<Setting name="DHCP" value="FALSE" />
<Setting name="LocalAdr" value="142.103.107.137" />
<Setting name="Gateway" value="142.103.107.254" />
<Setting name="Netmask" value="255.255.255.128" />
<Setting name="DNS" value="137.82.1.1" />
</Section>
... etc.
Still, no evidence of network access. Is the value
for the Device correct above? Does anyone have
a 3c905B working in Aos? Any other ideas?
Thanks, ... Peter E.

3rd one needs some work:
"Commented out:The trick is to somehow collect all the characters that
can be sent without escaping (EscSymbol). Once we come across a
character that needs escaping, we send all the previously collected
characters followed by the escaped character."
The comment is for the code that is commented out. It is probably some
kind of "optimized code" that was translated and when it did not work
was finally replaced by the version below the commented-out code.
>From what I can tell the active code is better anyways (simpler). If
optimization is needed, AosIO could be used to collect the characters
in a much simpler way.

ETH,
Yesterday I noticed your new site.
http://www.newoberon.ethz.ch/
It has a clean and sophisiticated appearance.
The moon photos are attractive. Nice!
Just in case a vote has any relevance: I still
depend on Oberon for routine use; not yet
able to use Aos exclusively. If you ever
happen to post a new alpha Oberon with
some of the small snags fixed---CF support,
range check on HTML characters, end-of-transmission
for a PostScript print job & etc.--- it
won't be wasted.
Thanks, ... Peter E.

Could it be referring to communication
with the remote system?

OK. I've thought about your translation
and the context. Anyone interested can
see my current best guesses.

There is a third comment beginning
"auskommentiert:" which is even more difficult.
If Thomas or anyone else has time to open
my file, read my translations of the 3
comments and suggest improvements, that
will be appreciated.
Thanks, ... Peter E.

Comments in the PPP modules are in German and I
want to understand them better. A dictionary gives
some ideas; yet I need help to get the intended meaning.
"die V24 und Loginsachen macht doch der Dialer. Oder ?"
"Pustekuchen, macht Devicepolling"
Thanks for any assistance, ... Peter E.
