The original SSH2DOS was last updated in 2006 and the protocols and ciphers it uses are outdated and basically it does not work anymore. I've patched the program to be up to date (as of 2021). The old programs can be still used if the ssh server configuration is changed to allow using less secure …

Can you keep us (or at least me) updated on your progress with the mTCP conversion of SSH2DOS ? I'm very keen on trying it out once it's working... Sure! Right now I have the code here: https://github.com/STrRedWolf/SSH2DOS So far I've only gotten to getting it up on GitHub. I've yet to get …

Good to hear that there are few options when it comes to getting HP palmtops online. I haven't been able to find a suitable card yet but am on the lookout for one! I had a look at potentially running an SSH client before but I believe the modern encryption may be too much for the slow processor? I …

A bit of an update. I was able to procure a Netgear FA411 and get it running, so I can Telnet with mTCP. I did see a SSH2DOS program and source code, which was classified as abandoned. I've pulled it up into Github in line to switch it over to mTCP and plug in another cypher to get it working on …

By switching to this HP 200LX specific NE2000 driver: PD2212.COM, I managed to get the 100Mbits link working in full duplex :) Throughput speed is the same, average of 250KB/sec with sometimes peaks up to nearly 300KB/sec (pretty good for a 80186 @ 16Mhz), but the latency is much better. It's much …

I could be wrong about this, but AFAIU, NE2000 is essentially a hardware reference platform that is limited to 10Mbps . To get more than that out of a card, you will need to use a driver compatible with your card's native mode, rather than its NE2000 compatibility mode . Thanks for replying, I was …

I don't know, but since you didn't mention it explicitly I have to ask if you tried another cable. other usual suspects would be driver or indeed some card configuration for which a suitable setup program should be found together with the driver on the original driver disk... :-) I've tried with …

Hi all, I've got a Netgear FA411, which is a 16-bit PCMCIA ethernet NIC, with 10/100Mbits speed, and it's NE2000 compatible. I'm using it on a HP 200LX Palmtop, eg a PC/XT architecture, but with a 80186 CPU. I'm using the "LXETH" DOS packet driver for NE2K compatible network cards, and have the NIC …
