I connected my RC2014 to the internet

[Grant Colegate]

I've bridged the RC2014 to the internet through a WiFi-to-SLIP gateway running on the wifi module and a TCP/IP stack running natively on CP/M.

You can view a page describing it all served by my RC2014 here: http://kobol.thelanbox.com.au (if its on).

The RC2014 isn't just responding to HTTP over serial, I've implement a TCP/IP stack and HTTPD to serve up files from the compact flash. Just the right kind of pointless fun :D

I didn't realise port 80 was blocked. My bad. Use this link: http://kobol.thelanbox.com.au:8080

Fantastic work!

[Ed Silky]

I concur, excellent job! And the page looks nice too. Close to something you would have seen in the '90s.

Nice, well done :-)

It really does look almost like a web page from the 90ies.  The wavy Uncode emoji didn’t exist at that time though.  If you replaced that by a sizeable GIF animation that hogs most of the bandwidth, then you’d really make us all feel 30 years younger ;-)

Amazing

[Grant Colegate]

Thanks folks!

Ironed out some kinks and now it's running much better. Still has times where the ping-pong of the slip gateway desyncs but it's not too bad. Cannot complain about 2KB/s!

Benchmarking kobol.thelanbox.com.au (be patient).....done

Looks very nice!

There's some code by Adam Dunkels, that implements IP for micro controller 8-bit devices (called uIP, unsurprisingly).

He built some additional apps that might be useful to have a look at, like NTP, DHCP, SMTP, and TELNET for example, to add additional capabilities to your implementation.

It might be useful to set the correct Internet time on the RC2014 (with NTP) when your server first boots up.

Cheers, Phillip
