RISC OS is an Operating System which has (always?) supported networking. From Econet to Access and AUN (Acorn Universal Networking), there have always been ways to connect RISC OS computers together. Use of modems (historically) and ethernet connections facilitate connection to the internet.
Information on basic networking descibes some further background.
If using a supported USB-Ethernet adapter, you’ll also need James Peacock’s EtherUSB driver, which is included in the OMAP 3, OMAP 4, and Raspberry Pi ROM images.
If your using hardware isn’t fitted with an ethernet socket, you’ll need a compatibleUSBIOMD ROM -Ethernet adapter. based Such machine, an item is listed in the EtherB, EtherH, and EtherY drivers are Cortex-A8 available hardware to compatibility download list . with the option to install the driver on disc or onto the expansion card itself.
If you’re experimenting with the IOMD ROM, you’ll probably need a 32-bit NIC.
Econet over IP is supported using the NetI module, which is included in the disc image. Simply activate this by enabling AUN from the !InetSetup dialogue.
If using a USB-Ethernet adapter, you’ll also need James Peacock’s EtherUSB .
For the IOMD ROM, the sources to Castle’s EtherY for the SMC91c111 chip may be helpful.
