Hey all,

I cannot get the spooler to function properly under 2.2.5. If this is
all better in 2.2.7, I appologize for the waste in bandwidth, but I
haven't had a chance to install the new version, so...

Here's my long_haul.rc file:
--- long_haul.rc ---
9601
cmu N:loos.edrc.cmu.edu/9601 N:barbera.nectar.cs.cmu.edu/9601 0
sean N:levy.slip.andrew.cmu.edu/9601 0
--- eof ---

(loos=pmax/ultrix, barbera=sun4/sunos41, levy=rs6k/aix3.1.5)

I have a machine at home (the "sean" domain) and a group of machines on
campus (the "cmu" domain) that I want to link up with the spooler. The
machine at home runs SLIP over a V.42bis modem to campus, which works
just fine. 

The first time I fire up the spooler on a campus machine, it looks OK
for a while -- all the process groups get created, log files get
written, and it makes connections to other campus machines running ISIS.
However, it fails to connect to the machine over SLIP, because it tries
to connect via the wrong port #, even though I've explicitly set the
port number both on the command line and in the sites and long_haul.rc
files (sorry, but I cannot get ISIS to reproduce this now for some odd
reason -- even though none of the spooler process groups exist, and I
removed all logs by hand, it will not start from scratch). When I ^C out
and try again, I get the following sort of run:

I get that "could'nt do initial bind, sleeping..." message forever,
until it finally gives up.

At any rate, I've never gotten the spooler to come up properly on any
machine, sun, pmax or rs6k. If anyone out there is using the spooler, or
can give advice on how to configure this, I'd be most appreciative. I
have an application that needs it desparately.

TIA,
