I looked into National Semiconductor Handbook printed in 1990.
There is no 16554 there, however there is 16552, "a dual version of
the NS16550AF UART. The two serial channels are completely independent
except for a common CPU interface and crystal input. On power-up both
channels are functionally identical to the NS16450. Each channel can
operate with on-chip transmitter and receiver FIFOs". INTR outputs and
DMA signals are separate for these channels.
Since now is year 1993, it is quite likely NS makes 16554. 73's, JT

As D. Goodwin poited out, file GETOPT.H is missing from BM332b.ZIP.
The contents of the file are the following:
extern int optind;
extern char *optarg;
int getopt(int, char **, char *);

I sent this message before to tcp-group-realay@ucsd.edu. I think that's
not the right place. That's why here it is again:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Paul,
may be there is a solution for your problem. In my DRSI documentation
(version 2.1, July 1, 1990) there is an error describing the rs232
jumpers. Especially for the MC1488, there are only 2 jumpers, but you need
also an jumper between pin 5 and 6 (TxD) and between pin 11 and 12 (RTS).
You can verify this tracing the bord layout between the port and the 8530.
I think that should solve your problem.
73 (and sorry about my english), de Mario, DL3LSM
P.S. Are there any people using the Atari ST for TCP/IP and interesting in
(beta) testing my NOS port (incl. GEM user interface). It supports only
KISS and SLIP on Modem1 (yet, I'm still looking for a scc-card).

Is reverse forwarding with the tipmailbox possible?
(I mean , can you forward to a person connected via a dial in modem line,
after they forward to you?)
If so, how??
Thanks.

The connection software is based on Phil Karn's excellent KA9Q program,
and the news reader is based on snews from John McCombs.
I did not particularly like the user interface of snews, so I wrote my own
combined newsreader and mailer. It is written in C++, and uses my own SAA
compliant text mode user interface toolkit.
If there are any other people out there who use DOS to access the news,
and they would like to try my news program, the latest version is
available for public ftp from :
ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/trumphurst/cppnws16.zip
Later versions (with different numbers) will also be made available in
that directory as they are released.
At present, the documentation is contained solely in the on-line help
file. Also, cppnews requires the unbatch, expire, addgroup and rmgroup
programs from the snews distribution.
