ASDG NICs, nothing works well with those. I'm so happy that we replaced one
last week with an NE2000 over GG2+. =)

It did however use IP for routing. Envoy was indeed released, and is AFAIK
still being distributed by Schatztruhe. Version 3 is quite impressive, it can
for example do ARexx calls between hosts.

Enlan DFS, right?

As for the original question, the AmiTCP 4 demo from Aminet is nice, and you
only have to see a nag window when you start it, then its use is unrestricted
(apart from some nice commodity features). If you're used to BSD, its
configuration is a piece of cake (AmiTCP is a big piece of BSD environment
transplanted into AmigaOS). Genesis is its current, GUI-enabled version, as
included in OS 3.9.
