I wonkder if it "only" support direct access to a filesrver via the normal open/load commands or if it gives you a "true" ethernet device which enables you to use it with the tcp/ip stack in goes/wings etc ? I believe it ony works with the "fileserver" on internet and uses its own internal stack -- but i could be wrong.

I've seen the Comet64 and the Comet+ prototype in action, and they can access the rest of the Internet, in addition to their proprietary fileserver at CommodoreServer.com The Wave, web browser for use in GEOS, and WiNGs both need a SuperCPU in order to function. The Comet64 and Comet+ do not need a SuperCPU in order to function.

So you are saying that the comet is THE IEC device for our DTV's which gives us the ability to get a internet connection? How did it work? Could you give a short review, please ?

So you are saying that the comet is THE IEC device... I never said that. It's best to send your questions to Goog, the creator of the Comet. He can more eloquently speak of the device than I. Also, CommVEx video of the older Comet+ is posted on Blip.tv If you wish the specific link to the video, I can dig it up for you.

hehe....I hoped you would say that is was the solution for us DTV users to get internet on our units ;-) I´ll google this a bit and see how it operatis. I guess it will work as well on a real c64 as on a dtv. So it´s back to google-town for me to look for some reviews and tests...thanks for the tip.

Sorry to ask again (it is weeks between I stumble upon this topic): But when I google comet64 and comet+ they both seem to connect to the userport of the c64 and not the iEC connector. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I believe it ony works with the "fileserver" on internet and uses its own internal stack -- but i could be wrong. This is in response to Flyer. Read the user manual for Commodore Flyer. It answers how it handles the TCP/IP. The flyer does it internally. You don't have to handle the TCP/IP stack in software. It does it for you. Keep in mind that TCP/IP are packet encapsulation. Strip the incapsulation and you'll get the raw data packet. I'm looking at a few projects in the future. I'm planning to hack my Hummer in the near future and get the Flyer and I would support Comet64/Comet+ possibly in the future as well but Flyer fits my c64dtv needs.
