Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

PLEASE RESPOND TO STDN@VM.MARIST.EDU AS I AM NOT ON EITHER LISTS. :)

I finally retrieved the help files for the wonderful rxsocket package.
The only problem that I have encountered is this:
  If I have a program running and I want it to be able to handle
more than one interactive session with different sites, at times I
will want to see if a new connection is trying to be made.  The listen
function just seems to set up the port to listen on and how many
backlogged connections can be queued.  The accept function seems to
wait until a connection is made on that port.
How can I check to see if a connection has been made, and if so, then
accept the connection?

   Thanks

What is the region size on the TCPIP started task?  I'd check that first
(REGION= on the JOB card) and increase that if necessary.
106-C means there wasn't enough memory for the system to load a module

Yes, we have tried increasing the region size, but we don't think
that's the problem. A buffer is about 8K. If we go from 160 to 161
buffers the problem arises even if we add another 50K to the region.

Hi.  Is this the rumor mill?

We put in 2.2.0, mainly to get the DFP NFS support.  Unfortunately, several
TCP/IP load modules that got linked into NFS were not assembled to be
re-entrant and re-usable.  So NFS wouldn't work.

Instead of fixing that (or any other) problem with a PTF, they reshipped
the new modification level.  Very few, if any, PTFs appear to have been
shipped for 2.2.0.

When they started the re-ship of 2.2.1, they did it on an "as ordered"
basis.  That is, the earlier you ordered 2.2.0, the earlier you received
2.2.1.

I gather that TCP/IP development had quite a personnel shakeup during the
recent flood of buyouts, and this contributed to much of the confusion with
2.2 to date.

We received 2.2.1 during the second week of October.  The install went
smoothly, and NFS works now.

Mostly because I've got enough to do and if I don't have a "quick"
answer or suggestion, I leave it go.  My boss would rather I spent my
time installing all the software sitting in my office (even though
these lists help get it installed correctly) than reading and posting
to these lists.

Here's what I'd like to see since I'm here:

Valid for client and server modes:

cd filepool:userid[\dir1 [\dir2 ... ]]   allow . and / also
lcd filepool:userid[\dir1 [\dir2 ... ]]  allow . and / also

then since I'm in that directory allow transfers without filemodes:

GET fn.ft
PUT fn.ft
MGET mask1.mask2 
MPUT mask1.mask2

I've probably muddled the syntax (again) so I'll accept corrections to
gladly.  If some of this already there, sorry.  I'm a systems

Date: 6 Nov 92 22:23:36 GMT
Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

I've been seeing various notes regarding sending print to network
printers from MVS. With the following jcl, I've been able to use
a TSO batch job to issue the LPR command successfully. In this case,
the data to be printed is in a sequential file, which was written to
by a CICS transaction, so we're not dealing with JES3 or JES2 spool
output. None of this is in a 'production' type mode, we just wanted to
try it and see if it could be done cheaply with existing software (and
without having learn how to write a sockets program, etc). So, this
is not fancy, but it does work. We are running TCPIP V2.2 on MVS.

I put the LPR command into a sequential file because I was having
problems with using quotation marks instream for the file containing
the data to be printed.

//*
//* USE TSO BATCH TO ISSUE LPR COMMAND
//*
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSTSIN  DD DSN=LPR.COMMAND,DISP=SHR
//*
//* Contents of LPR.COMMAND something like the following:
//*
//* LPR 'LPR.DATA' (PRINTER prtname HOST hostname
//

  I agree.  I phoned LRS and the impression I got was that at the last
  'EXPLORE' printing conference they got inundated with requests for
  LPR support and so they are raising the priority of that project
  but they couldn't say for sure when it would be available.  I have
  asked to be put on their beta site list for when it does become
  available.

We are looking at purchasing TCP/IP version 2 for our MVS system.  One of the
capabilities we need is FTP file transfer from under CICS.  When I first 
investigated this software about a year ago, I was told by IBM that there
would be "hooks" to support FTP under CICS, but that an actual FTP client
for CICS was not included.  At least, that is what I *think* I was told!
Now that version 2 has been out for a while, I am wondering if an FTP client
for CICS is available, either from IBM or from any other source.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.

When we had VM...

    We set up RSCS links to talk to IBM 7171 Async controllers.  The
controllers had programmable character maps and that type of thing.
Our VM person wrote an RSCS exit to pass data directly through the
7171 port (8 bit, 1 stop, no parity) and defined the printer as
an LPR supported printer.  LPR's to HP laser jets included all
font control characteristics, graphics - the works.  I don't have
the exit anymore otherwise I would send it to you but the exit
approach worked for us.

Hint 1:  This means any client anyplace can create a connection to your
X server.

Hint 2: Clients can ask to be notified about keyboard events.

Hint 3: You probably type interesting things on your keyboard on occasion.

That's all I'll say about it.  I use the .Xauthority stuff to further

It's available - but it seems that contrary to IBM's promises, no PTF's
are coming out for it.  IBM has taken a number of APAR's, but they are
not forthcoming with fixes.  Anybody else observed this?

Subject:      3172/BT1

Anyone care to discuss a bit the new box 3172-BT1, which is
supposedly an IBM 3172 with some extra BTI hardware and some Novell
software.  Is IBM gonna start selling BTI boxes under their label?
Is there an ELC-3 in the works between IBM and BTI?  Any other
'stragetic' products planned between these 2 companies?

Thanks,
Hank

We need SFS server support.  It should be obvious to IBM that it is
a high priority need.
