[comp.lang.lisp] TCP/IP data streams among Symbolics and SUNs

spr@pyr.gatech.EDU (Stefan Roth) (08/29/89)

I recently tried to post this message, but never saw it on the net. So,
I am posting it again. Sorry if it came by twice.


I want to be able to open a TCP/IP network connection on my SUN3, SUN4,
and/or SUN SparcStation1 from SUN CommonLISP (Lucid) version 3.0 so that
I can communicate among these machines and my Symbolics machines.
The purpose is to be able to read and write arbitrary data from and to
a network stream.
I want to be able to use the PRIN1 and READ functions (or something similar)
on these streams, just like I can on the Symbolics when I use 
net:define-protocol and net:define-server (:medium :bytestream). 

I would appreciate information from anyone who has done this or who has
knowledge of this.

Thanks in advance.
