[mod.computers.vax] CMU/TEK IP/TCP News

Several  months ago Vince Fuller and I announced the availability
of our modifications to Tektronix's VMS IP/TCP environment.   The
response  was overwhelming.  We like to think that we are filling
a great  need  for  a  well  integrated,  and  functional  IP/TCP
environment  for  VMS.    Perhaps  many of you sought this simply
because the price was right.  In any case we are finding that  we
are  spending  to  much  time  dealing  with  administrative  and
non-technical matters. We wish to continue to improve and enhance
this  environment  rather than spend our time answering questions
about liscensing and adminstrative details.

To help us out, another organization  on  campus  has  graciously
offered  their  assistance  in  helping  with  the liscensing and
distribution effort.  They  will  also  serve  as  a  preliminary
contact point for help in technical areas.

Rather  than  contacting  me  (Dale  Moore)  or  Vince Fuller for
information   on   distribution,   liscensing,   and    technical
information please contact
                    CMU-TEK TCP/IP Software Request
                    Computation Center
                    Carnegie Mellon University
                    4910 Forbes Avenue
                    Pittsburgh, PA 15213

We  will  be  willing to sign an agreement with anyone that has a
valid Tektronix Liscense, and is in the United States.  The  work
we've done on the Tektronix code was funded in part by DARPA, and
our agreement with DARPA forbids us from  distributing  the  work
outside  of  the  US.    A  tektronix liscense can be obtained by
contacting
                    Dennis Thomas
                    Tektronix, Inc.
                    Scientific Computer Center
                    P.O. Box 500 MS 50-454
                    Beaverton, Or 97077

Again, the approach that we are trying to take is  that  we  have
done  some  work,  and  that by distributing this work others may
find use in it.  This is free software, please don't expect us to
show extraordinary interest in your problems.
