InterNestor Lite 0.4

Nestor Soriano released a new version of InterNestor Lite, his toolkit which allows you to connect your MSX running MSX-DOS to the internet. Furthermore, InterNestor lite allows you to code your own internet applications. New in this version:

Reduced the size of the TCP segments to avoid the Fossil driver to lose data
The control program INL.COM now supports configuration files
Added Van Jacobson compression. This compression reduces the size of the TCP/IP headers, originally 40 bytes long, down to an average size of 5 bytes
Minor bugfixes

You can get the new InterNestor Lite at Konamiman's MSX Page.

The achievement of connecting MSX to the internet is commendable! I have a question, apart from Nestor, does anyone actually use there MSX to access the internet instead of a PC ?

Hey, hey, I do not use "MSX instead of PC", I use both... (^^!)
Mainly because having just a bare telnet client available is quite a problem... and I don't feel capable (both in terms of skill and in terms of available time) of also programing the mail client, the web browser, and the like. :-)

It would be nice to see some games use the Internet for multiplayer modes though. I doubt there's much use in a browser, although having one is always cool It's a tough nut to crack for an MSX though. Even fudebrowser, which relies on a WILD server, doesn't really ace it. But then again, I guess an MSX really isn't suitable for web-surfing. Perhaps Mr. Nishi will give us an MSX capable of running Flash animations
