[nos-bbs] JNOS (WIN32 / native windows) available to play with ...

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

Just something to be aware of ...

When working on AMPRnet forwarding on Linux, as well as working on Linux
firewalls, tcpdump is my friend.
In the Windows world, Wireshark is King and it uses WinPCap.  

My point being that people who do anything mildly complicate will need to do
some packet capture and so WinPcap version clashes with other things that
install WinPCap, like Wireshark, may be frequent.

I don't know much about drivers or writing IP stacks.  So I don't know if
this is useful info or not.  Just thought I'd throw it out there.

I don't want to burst people's bubbles, but this is still very much a
development version, and unfortunately I can only support Windows XP with
WinPcap 4.0.1 - of course the intention is to get this working on Windows 7
at some point with the 'latest' WinPcap.

The use of WinPcap was done initially so that I could quickly tie into the
Windows networking. It's kind of cheating actually, but it works for now. I
would rather have another way to tie into the windows networking, then use a
sniffer type interface.

If you have an XP environment, go for it, test it, let me know how it works.
The JNOS executable is linked to the 4.0.1 WinPCap api, so I don't know how
compatible that api is with other versions.
