We investigated a similar configuration time ago, but we never made it
operational. The idea was to use a SUN as a secure gateway between an internal
LAN and an external one.

The SUN would run a gateway task for each supported service (Telnet, FTP, ...).
Each gateway task would accept connections from the external LAN and,
after validating the socket address of the remote client, would connect
a local socket to the correspondent server (Telnet, FTP, ...)  on the target
host in the internal LAN. Once these two connections are established, the
gateway task retransmits data on both directions. This worked without
problems for Telnet and it was a bit more difficult for FTP (e.g. the
gateway has to react to commands like PORT).

One of the problems we found was how to address the internal lan hosts
from the external LAN. A solution is to map each service on each
internal host with a dedicated port number on the SUN.
The user on the external host would have to Telnet/FTP to the gateway SUN
specifying a special port in the command. To let the client user know which
port number to use, a portmapper could be used.

This is not transparent to the user but if you only want to give telnet
access to one mvs machine through a dedicated SUN you could replace the
telnet server on that SUN with a gateway task. The remote user would
then have to telnet to the IP address of the SUN.

In any case, there is quite a lot of work to do.
The gateway task on the SUN has to be able to handle multiple
concurrent sessions and needs some error recovery.

Be aware of that the true amount of virtual region available is what
you specify in your JOB card + 64KB.

The program is probably loaded into subpool 252. I should suggest
that you retry the specification of REGION=, try to increase it with
1MB to prevent failures due to virtual storage fragmentations.
The reason could be insufficient contiguous virtual storage available
in subpool 252 (possibly 251, I don't remeber whether the module is
reentrable or not).

Has anyone pursued a solution to multitask socket applications (ie concurrent

I have written a similar service machine but not as fancy (no postcript
etc)

Do you use the IBM LPR or do you have your own?

What do you use to get the files from the service machine reader
 to a disk file for LPR to use?

How can I get a copy of yours?

> The Pascal compiler XREF listing has all those things.

Which Pascal compiler?  IBM's VS/Pascal doesn't.

The XREF doesn't say what the format of a record inside another
record is (the type).  So it's impossible to figure out the
complete layout of a record which includes other records.

Here's a "complete" entry for one field of a record from the
IBM VS/Pascal compiler (it's been flowed to fit):

  VMCFHEADER          2/ 2:1432   IN VMCFHEADERWITHSMSGTYPE,
  CLASS = FIELD, TYPE = RECORD, OFFSET = 0, LENGTH = 40

This says that field name VMCFHEADER is contained in a record of
type VMCFHEADERWITHSMSGTYPE at offset 0 and has a length of 40
and that this field is itself a record.

Now what is the name of the record format contained at offset 40
in VMCFHEADER?   It doesn't say.  So it's impossible to map the
insides of this field.

Since I want to map out the whole record VMCFHEADERWITHSMSGTYPE I
need to know what the type of the records contained inside of it
are...

Have you seen the output from the AGGR option on the IBM C or
PL/1 compilers?   That's what I want for Pascal records...

   I think I'd recommend using dig if you have V2R2 of TCP/IP for VM
(not sure of availability on MVS).  I think IBM would rather support that
than the old CMSRESOL module that QNS uses, it is more common (so others
will understand the output), and it gives additional information.  In dig
you can see the in-addr.arpa easily with

     dig -x 134.129.111.1   (for example).

   There have been some APARs against dig - I think help/man files are
avilable and there is an EXEC which can do the globals it needs.

To find the name given the numbers use DIG -X

e.g. DIG -X 132.254.90.1 ANY ANY

That works for me on both VM and Unix. Note that to use the DIG that comes
with TCP/IP V2R2 for VM, you need to issue a GLOBAL LOADLIB EDCLINK IBMLIB
first.

Organization: Manchester Business School

Hello All

Having had a phenomenal response to my first soundings as to a world-wide 
MBA club so-to-speak, I have embarked on trying to put a few of the 
suggestions into practice. At the moment I think it is probably most 
important to try and get possible MBA vacancies with companies advertised 
over UseNet. I think that this will be the quickest item to impliment but I 
must confess that I know little about the workings of the InterNet system. 
Does anyone out there know if it possible to get a news group specifically 
dedicated to MBA jobs? I have approached the career development people at 
Manchester to see if they would be willing to share possible vacancies with 
the rest of the world so-to-speak so we might have something going there. As 
I am currently looking for a job myself I have decided to place all the 
available job material I have onto this system - however, this will depend 
on whether we can get our own area (or maybe this one will do).

Again, please post any useful suggestions in this area so that we can all 
see. In the meantime can people find out whether their career advisors are 
willing to share info world-wide etc.

Many thanks

Yours

I am currently ennrolled in the Evening Executive MBA (EEMBA) program at
Duke University's Fuqua School of Business.  One of my big beefs with the
program is that, while it's essentially identical to the "full-time" MBA
program (+/- a few electives), evening students are banned from using any
of the school's placement or recruiting services, including job fairs,
information seminars, corporate information binders, etc.  Since many of
the evening students receive partial or total reimbursement for tuition,
the school doesn't want to piss off the corporate customers who send people
through the program by finding them new jobs.  However, there *are* those
students who are footing the entire bill themselves (currently about 36K
for 25 months).  In my mind, there is no reason why these folks shouldn't
have full access to the school's placement services.

All of that is a long-winded way of saying I'm very much in favor of
anything that might put students and companies in contact by circumventing
the more traditional "recruiting" relationship between companies and schools.

I'll be interested in further postings on the subject.  I'd also like to know
if others have experienced a similar restriction on access to placement
services.

Actually it is aiesec.  They are represented on most major campuses.  For
example you should be able to contact them here at
aiesec@commerce.uq.edu.au
and I'd imagine they would be able to give you a contact closer to home.

Hi!

I am a full-time MBA student at The Ohio State University (OSU) and am
President of the MBA Management Information Systems Club here.

I fully support the idea of a group to discuss MBA careers/job opportunities.
We have limited recruiting on-campus because the program here is small, and
placement office is under-staffed.

I was wondering if some one could tell us where jobs for MBAs are posted ( I
heard of biz.jobs or something similar but OSU does not get it due to its
"Commercial content")on Internet.  We have telnet and E-mail capabilities.

Regarding Tim's gripe about the Duke Univ. Fuqua School not allowing Part
timers to use career placement services:  We do not have such a restriction but
the full timers had a rule that they should attend a minimum of 8 workshops
before being eligible to be in the "MBA Resume Book".  We had the mortification
of seeing 32 out of 130 students being not eligible because they failed to
attend the required number of workshops in the first year. (About a dozen of
them are employed (sent by Companies/U.S. Navy for MBA)).

There are at least two MBA organisations in NZ both of which started
in Dunedin..... one is the MBA Association (now domiciled in Auckland)
and consists of a network for MBAs (puts out a mag, etc)... I found it
to be poor in meeting my requirements as once it moved to Auckland it
seemed to wither away and only met the needs of the Auckalnd
fraternity... the other is an informal (?) network of MBAs who studied
at Otago University, Dunedin (the oldest [and may I say the BEST] MBA
Programme in New Zealand now into its 14th or 15th year)... best place
to try for a contact is via Postmaster@otago.ac.nz and asking for the
address for either the Director of the Business School (MBA Programme)
or a contact in the Commerce Department who might help in respect of
MBA contacts (say... one of the senior lecturers [Graeme Elkin is a
former Director of the Business Programme for MBAs who still lectures
at Otago I think...]. This latter organisation is run by current and
former MBA students as opposed to university staff.....

Hope this information is of use.....
