Subject: gethostbyname() in TSR under Sun PC-NFS
Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services  (408 241-9760 guest) 
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1993 21:59:31 GMT

I'm writing a TSR for some of the socket functions in my application
so that they do not need to be aware of what TCP/IP is in place on the
machine.  I have been succesful with Novell's LWP and FTP's TCP/IP.  
However, with Sun's PCNFS, I have been unable to get the gethostbyname()
function to work when called inside a TSR.  This function works fine
in the other socket implementations.

gethostbyname() sets h_errno to NO_RECOVERY.  If I do a gethostent() errno
gets set to ENOMEM.  This is under small and medium memory models.  So I'm
running out of memory, but how much memory could a gethostbyname() really
need?

Has anyone ever succeeded making gethostbyname() work in a TSR like this?

I recently got the latest version of Trumpet, 1.05g.

This version has some nice features, but an extremely serious
annoyance. It automatically sends a copy of any mail you produce
back to you. This is really a pain in the ass .. I have to go
by hand and cancel the "cc" stuff in the header.

Or do I? Is there a switch or configuration option to prevent this? 
I sure can't find one, but also find it hard to believe something this
stupid would be non-defeatable.

RTFM seems not to find an answer (I admit not to reading it
all word for word, just searching for likely keywords to this feature.)

I'm pleased that the Windows Sockets thing is starting to pick up, but is 
anyone actually in the process of writing a freely available winsock.dll ? 
Maybe Microsoft are going to start distributing one with Windows itself. 
Surely this would save confusion? Although, of course, vendors should be able 
to create thier own also, as they may be better tuned.

Subject: suggestions for setting up a DOS/Windows client-server network
Date: 26 Jan 93 23:04:00 GMT
Organization: University at Buffalo
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.41


Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading and setting up
a computer lab for students. We already have 2 386s, 4 286s and
a 386DX. We want to spend the least amount of money, and use 
our current computer equipment also. Our lab should be able to
support computer intensive software like mathematica, hyperchem
etc.. So we thought of two alternatives:

1. get a 486/50 and keep these computer intensive software on
them. The down side is, only one person can work at a time.

Or

2. set up a Server-Client network: setup a 486/50 with a large
disk and printer as server, and use our current 386/286 
machines as clients. The idea is that all computations will be
done on the server, and the clients will merely serve as
front-ends. Also, the clients can be used independently for small
tasks. Is possible in the DOS/Windows  environment? I have been
told that unix machines can do this... But, is it possible
for DOS/WINDOWS set up too? 

If option 2 is possible, we would prefer that. Our assumption is
386/286 machines can be used as dumb terminals, hanging off the
486. The 486 will be responsible for computations, disk access,
video updates, printing etc...

I  would appreciate any advice/comment/suggestions on this. Also,
if option 2 above is possible, what do we need? Who will be the 
suggested vendors? Will one  copy on the server be able to serve
requests from multiple clients?

Once again please let me know of suggestions for this setup.

Thanks,

--Dinesh

A follow-up to my original posting.  Our network is IBM Token Ring, with
IBM's DOS LAN (no Novell).  

We have been using NUPop for the past few months, but it has several
serious short-comings that make us feel we need an alternative solution.

If anyone has any information about this, please post it as a follow-up
message as opposed to an e-mail response.  I am interested in this topic as
well.

I do, however, know of an FTP compatible SLFP driver.  SLFP is another
protocol, similar to SLIP and PPP.  This driver can be located on
"merit.edu" in the pub/ppp subdirectory in a file called slfernet.zip (or
something like that).  The packet driver is called "slfernet".

I looked in that same subdirectory for a PPP packet driver that is
compatible with FTP's PC/TCP software, but I could not find anything.  A
PPP packet driver is bundled together with NCSA telnet, but it is not
recognized by PC/TCP's ETHDRV kernel because the packet driver is the wrong
class.

IMHO, Trumpet has more than one serious annoyance. For example, how can I
reconfigure colors? The black-on-white text is stabbing my eyes  on a BW

I've already been through this problem. You do not need to do what
you have proposed. 

I wrote a dialer program using Greenleaf's comm lib software.
The Greenleaf software disconnects anything else from the UART while it
is using the UART, and reconnects what was already there when
the program quits. THerefore the SLIP driver can already be loaded
before the dialer program is used.

However, there is one flaw that is easily solved.

The SLIP driver enables a 16550 UART's fifo. The Greenleaf code
disables the fifo when it quits. This screws up the SLIP driver.
My solution was to disable the fifo enabling code in the SLIP driver,
which means the SLIP driver does not use the fifo. This works fine.
The other solution would be to modify the Greenleaf code so that it
does not muck with the fifo. (Greenleaf supplies source code, so
changing it is easy.)

You most likely won't be able to set a higher graphics mode if your card

Increase the number of TCP connections in your tcp-ip package. You should 
also increase the number of packets accordingly.

    As long as you are using two different interface cards you can run two IP 
    stacks concurrently no matter what drivers you use.
    
    Boris Yanovsky
    boris@netmanage.com
    
Sorry, but I disagree on this. If you have two cards and each card
has its own stack, that should work. However, if each stack wants to
talk to each card, you are back with the problem that PKTMUX (or
whatever it's called) usually solves and isn't being taken into
account here plus the need for a multi-homed host. Most PC TCP/IP
stacks are not multi-homed (other than routing, think of one good and
implemented reason for having two cards under one stack), so that
precludes this from working from the other side. In short, with
appropriate shims and simplifying assumptions, you could probably get
this to work. But, out of the box, no way.

Sure. Everything is working exactly as it should. No problems.

(There is no NFS "close" operation. Therefore a server has to be
prepared to honour a file handle for as long as the file exists,
or until the next "fsirand"..... To avoid the cost of repeated
DOS file open/close operations, SOSS keeps each file open as long

Have you looked at WordPerfect Office?
It's in the same sort of league as CC:Mail and with release 4 coming out
soon will be (I think) leading the Mail/Groupware products.

WP do not yet supply a PC SMTP gateway but we do. 
It doesn't require any extra software (i.e. FTP's PC/TCP) and fits in well
with the WP environment. 

Let me know if you want any further info on WP Office or our gateway.
