The big problem here is that to be able to use the programs you vendors
make, and your resellers are selling, and demanding protection for, the 
customer is required to use his valuable time to keep track of dozens
and dozend of diskettes and licences. If your resellers prefer having
no sales with copyprotection, or sales without, what will they choose ?.

I recommended PC/TCP over PC-NFS in my local organisation (apart from 
PC/TCP working as is on token-ring), but if PC/TCP hadn't included 
copy-protection free sitelicences I'd look for something else.

Curious question - which countries are screaming for copy-protection ?

( I just hope we don't have to see these gadgets you are supposed to 
  put in dozens on your parallell port again. And anything that screams
  on my network, I'll put behind a bridge or router.)

Subject: OS/2 and TCP/IP (FAQ?)
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 16:18:17 GMT
Organization: Information Technology, University of Louisville

Here at UofL, we have been using the wonderful public domain TCP/IP software
packages, such as CUTCP, NCSA Telnet, Gopher and so on.  Also, on the NetWare
side Pegasus mail (though not TCP/IP related).  Of course, this has been in 
the DOS and Windows world.

The vile and evil OS/2 (half and operating system) will be forcing its way 
into my life this week.  Since I am part of the University's computing 
communications group, with a major focus in R&D I have to find free (cheap 
or even shareware) utilities that will run under OS/2.

My questions to the Net:

1) Can these utilities run under OS/2, if so how.

2) What OS/2 TCP/IP stuff is out there.

We need the basics, Telnet (3270 support), FTP, FTPD, NNTP Netnews, Gopher, 
POPMail (or Pegasus mail), PING, etc.

Thanks in Advance
Rob

Hi, we've picked up the unsupported PC/TCP 'rexecd' stuff and would
like to know if anyone's got sample source code which works with it.
We're looking to be able to do stuff like directing stdout of DOS
commands executed remotely from UNIX systems back to the UNIX

I am trying to find out if there exists a tcp/ip application
programming interface available for dos/windows that would
allow you to:

	1. set/remove arp entries
	2. set/remove ip routing table entries
	3. operate at the RAW socket layer; i.e.,
	can address ip layer.  Could get by with UDP
	broadcast here.

I haven't found any candidates yet. In general raw sockets
seem to be rare, and 1/2 don't exist. 
Any info appreciated. Thanks.

Just to make things clear: I know about ka9q, but I'm not
talking about modifying the protocol stack just yet.  I would
like to know if any commercial apis support the above.
(This is just for experimentation anyway.)

We do have PC/TCP v2.05 at our site, but I think CUTE is miles
ahead in usability over the telnet from PC/TCP.
It's a lot easier to switch between sessions with CUTE, you can
always see what's going on on the other sessions, and you can
see which other connctions are still open.  Then CUTE has always
sockets left for a reverse FTP, while tn does work anymore as
soon as you have 2 concurrent sessions with the default setup.

Then CUTE has a very powerful and easy to use keymap configuration,
and reverse FTP is very easy -- just look at the poor tn.

There is a bug in tn from PC/TCP 2.05 which freezes your machine
when lots of I/O is taking place in background sessions.

CUTE is able to scroll backwards which is VERY IMPORTANT for me.

Just the FTP from PC/TCP is more stable and faster than the one
that comes with CUTCP.  And PC/TCP is able to handle datagram
fragmentation, which noticable increases long distance performance.
But therefore PC/TCP's FTP client has some other nasty habits:
It suppresses the login message, when username and password
is supplied on the commandline, it has no "ABORT" function
implemented, i.e. if you started to transfer a several MBytes
file over a 64KBit/s link accidentally in ASCII, you have to
switch your machine off and on (silly PS/2 lack a reset button).
And then they have some commands different from the common
Unix ftp client, most often used here the "hash" command.
Heaven knows why they were not able to adopt the unix client
syntax ...


There are reasons to use CUTE/CUTCP !

Try using the crynwr wd8003e packet driver.  I've had some problems with
SMC's 8003pkdr, though it does work for most applications.
I presume your card passes all the diagnostics after it's been

Organization: Math, Stats & CS, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada

I'm sure many others have wondered or asked this question, and I haven't
seen anything terribly helpful in the time I've been reading this
group.

I have a 486, a 14.4k modem, and an account on a sun unix box.  I can
connect to my account through another v.32bis modem and a Develswitch.
However, using a standard communications program, I'm pretty limited
in that I can't transfer data between the two machines and perform
other tasks simultaneously.  I've considered several options, but from
what I can tell, they won't work.  A windows package, UnixWindows, 
allows multiple sessions but doesn't allow file transfers in each 
session.  I've quickly looked at ka9q, but it looks as though I have
to be assigned an ip number (and have a slip connection) to do that.
I've been asking around the campus if slip is a possibility, but
I haven't been able to get a definitive answer.

I guess my question is:  is it possible to get tcp/ip on a standard
dialup, by running server software on either end of the connection?
(and without being a sysadmin)  I have a 70 meg partition free
for some version of unix if that is what it will take.

Thanks for any help!

I just purchased 2 copies of WinQVT and got version 2.8.  I have
NEVER seen an internet address in ANY of their documentation.  I
looked at the README.1st and RELNOTES.WRI files and no internet
address.  I looked through the hard copy manual and no internet
address.

Where is this address everyone is talking about??????

Also, I have heard there is a version of WinQVT that support PC-NFS
directly (i.e., not with NDIS).  Is this true???  I sent them a
letter via snail mail last week and have not received any response.

We are actually *over bought* on B&W licenses, since it is very easy
to call our saleskritter (Hi, Chip!) and say "send me an invoice for 5
more right-to-use licenses" and then pay it.  Bingo - 5 more users,
*no* more software packages to deal, no extra use of floppy disks,
cardboard boxes, etc.

Nope, when the number hits 3, I'm looking for "paper based" user
licenses.  This is one of the reasons I eventually dumped
PC-Interface.  Keeping up with the disks was just too much hassle.

Now if we could just get companies like Lotus to ship "real" network
installable applications, with decently priced "paper based" licenses,
I'd like working with DOS machines much better.

Sorry I can't help him out knowing little about OS/2 but I was struck

Things have certainly come a long way!
