AIP is a program for using the Amiga as ISP, people call your phone
line(s) so AIP will answer this, proceed with login and connect to Internet
(or your internal TCP-IP network).
Much like any other Un*xoid Internet Access provider! In fact, AIP was
written aiming this.
You can also run a BBS (with freeware Max's BBS software and proper
patching for shared-access serial)
This software runs well on very simple hardware, AIP was successfully
used in an A500+A590 2,5 Mb fast and softkicked KS 2.04 running also a WWW
server.
AIP maintain userlist and userlevel-access files so it will, if defined:
- limit user by time/connection
- lock/enable an entire userlevel
(and that's all, all other limits claimed in 'conf' are not implemented)
AIP also, theorically, supports multinode BUT:
- file-sharing routines are not ready (1% done, pffsss..)
because this the multinode code (which works!) is currently useless.
:(
- you have to compile different versions for using different config
files, it means you'll have to maintain independent userlists, unless you
write the file-sharing missing code.
BBS support is NOT multinode (at least using Max's BBS with that patch).

* WARNING *
This is an incomplete software, no longer being developed by the author.
The source is included, further additions to this program is YOUR
responsability.
The sources have comments in portuguese language, perhaps i'll translate
that in future. Sorry.
