Hello All,
 
  Sorry I missed the question, Rob (although I am glad that some of our
members helped you out).  We've got a one-directional gateway for nearnet.tech
and nearnet.general, and hadn't been expecting any postings to these groups.
Needless to say, from now on I will be watching these groups to catch any 
stray messages.  Gatewaying postings back into the mailing lists will be
looked at if things get too busy.
 
  We've since talked on the phone regarding commercial usage, but if there's 
any remaining questions let me know ASAP.  I do expect to be posting some 
details in the next two weeks, but am more than willing to answer specific 
questions that anyone might have in the meantime.

Rob (et. al.):

    The message was sent (by mistake) to nearnet@nic.near.net which is an
unmoderated general interest list about nearnet.  We will work with Samsung to
address the problem Paul reported.

    This is a fairly common mistake for people to make--either because they are
new to our listnames or because their fingers got tangled up.  Please assume
that the NEARnet staff will answer such questions offline without further
followup to the list.  And, when we get a chance, we will install software to
moderate new postings to the nearnet list to prevent this in the future.

Ticket #3218

Original Problem Description:

    Reloaded router, and it is now running tli(53) which has

     Hi all.

     Here's a good one.  Some of you may know this.  

     The talk function in UNIX has what appears to be some old left over 
syntax in it.  If you look at the get_names.c module there is code that 
looks for the following syntax;

     <user>
     <user>@<host>
     <host>.<user>
     <host>:<user>
     <host>!<user>

     I, as am reasonably sure many sites do, have usernames with dots 
in them.  The above parsing blasts what one would think of as the 
"standard" Internet syntax (like e-mail addresses) all to pieces.  

     Add to that the following; the talkd gives the address to the user
in the <user>@<domain> form.  So, even if a user used one of the other
syntax forms, someone else may still not be able to respond.  The code
isn't consistant on either end of the connection. 

     So.  I'm left with unhappy users.  Now I have a set of questions.

     o  Are these other syntax forms old left overs?

     o  Are they still needed?

     o  Can we get them removed?  (I can here but what about the rest of 
        the Internet?)

     o  Who do I talk to about getting rid of those other forms if they
        aren't really needed?

     o  Any one know why they are there at all?  The ! seems obvious but 
        not the rest of it.

     Thanks.

Problem Description:
                Seeing drops on Ethernet 0 interface of bbn-gw. Reloaded
               router due to drops, and hung EGP session with BBN ENET1
               gateway 22:30-22:32. EGP sessions came back up, but still
               seeing drops on ethernet interface. Have sent a note to
               Cisco personnel, and will have NEARnet personnel investigate

Problem Solution:
                Configuration changes made to the BBN router on 7/28/92
               have made a significant impact in reducing the drops on
               Ethernet 0, and improved packet success rates across
               that interface.
