We have recently implimented a campus-wide TCP-IP network and have several AT&T 3B2/400 machines running S5. These machines each have a transever port. Currently we have software to impliment '3BNET'. (Yes, the inventors of UNIX did not include any TCP-IP support). I am wondering if anyone has heard of any TCP-IP software for this machine. Please respond via E-Mail to: mhampson@wpi.wpi.edu (internet)

The Wollongong Group does TCP/IP products for 3B2s running SysV. We're running it under SysVRel3.[02].

In a recent posting in this newsgroup, it was pointed out that Wollongong TCP/IP is being sold by AT&T for their 3B2s. This is true. However, any reader must be cautioned that this is the most miserable implementation of TCP/IP available. In particular, it tends not to communicate with Berkeley 4.3 systems (depending on how the kernel was genned, but exactly what's important, AT&T tech support has never been able to tell). There are other problems, mostly related to routing (which most people won't care about; using a 3B2 as an IP gateway isn't a typical application), and the support for "standard Berkeley Idiosyncracies" is not good (although, one must admit, not required for anything except interoperability). I have been told that there is a V2.2 release "in the offing" which resolves some of these bugs, but readers looking for IP on their 3B2 might be interested in talking to other vendors first. jms Disclaimer: I have no connection with any vendor of IP for 3B2s.

So, what other choices are their? Lachman sold theirs to AT&T.
AT&T is still sitting on it (when is it due out, anybody?)
I have not been able to locate any other TCP/IP vendors for
3B2s.
