Info-3b2 Digest, Number 28 Friday, October 21st 1988 Today's Topics: NFS for AT&T 3Bx's Mail headers Re: Info-3b2 Digest, Number 26 Re: Info-3b2 Digest, Number 26 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 20 Oct 88 09:15:22 CDT From: lll-tis!ames!uwvax!shorty.cs.wisc.edu!sadler (Jon B. Sadler) Subject: NFS for AT&T 3Bx's I don't want to anounce a product that hasn't yet come out, but my sources (which are QUITE reliable) say that AT&T will be coming out with NFS to run on top of the WIN/3B TCP/IP product. Just a note -- my sources also tell me that the NFS port was NOT done by Wollongong. This product will require SVR3.1 and WIN/3B. As for trys to port, Lachman associates has ported this product -- and quite well I may add. They only sell to OEMs though -- guess you'll have to wait for the AT&T product.

I know we have talked about this before, and a concern was expressed about being able to get a return message path, but it is damned difficult to find the worthwhile information in short messages due to low s/n ratio. And responding (other than to the list as a whole) becomes an adventure in itself. See the below example. Why don't you send a correct "From:" header in user@site format (as many mailing list do), and let the mail software figure out how to get there. At least get rid of the "Received", ">From", and "X-Mailer" junk. Perhaps comp.sys.att.3b2 could cure it all... :-) Regards, Denny >From: root@netsys.COM (NetSys Admin) >Message-Id: <8810172038.AA06137@netsys.COM> >Subject: Forwarded mail... >To: info-3b2 >Date: Mon, 17 Oct 88 16:38:39 EDT >X-Mailer: Elm [version 2.2dev PL10] > >Forwarded message: > >Date: Mon, 17 Oct 88 11:26:06 MDT >From: ames!ncar.UCAR.EDU!boulder!pikes!nike.cair.du.edu!daemon (The devil himself) >Message-Id: <8810171726.AA20905@nike.cair.du.edu> >To: pikes!boulder!ncar!ames!netsys!root@boulder.colorado.edu > >>From udenva!nuucp Mon Oct 17 11:25:53 1988 remote from dunike >Received: from udenva.cair.du.edu by nike.cair.du.edu (5.59/1.0) > id AA20889; Mon, 17 Oct 88 11:25:53 MDT >Received: by udenva.cair.du.edu (5.51/5.17) > id AA12640; Mon, 17 Oct 88 11:25:38 MDT >Date: Mon, 17 Oct 88 11:25:38 MDT >From: dunike!udenva!nuucp (UUCP Admin) >Message-Id: <8810171725.AA12640@udenva.cair.du.edu> >To: boulder!pikes!boulder!ncar!ames!netsys!root > >>From isis.UUCP!scicom!cyrill Mon Oct 17 11:25:01 1988 remote from udenva >Received: by udenva.cair.du.edu (5.51/5.17) > id AA12612; Mon, 17 Oct 88 11:25:01 MDT >Received: by isis.cs.du.edu (5.52/2.1) > id AA29776; Mon, 17 Oct 88 11:21:29 MDT >Received: by scicom.alphacdc.com (smail2.5) > id AA01591; 17 Oct 88 11:09:35 MDT (Mon) >To: isis.UUCP!udenva!pikes!boulder!ncar!ames!netsys!root >Subject: Re: Info-3b2 Digest, Number 23 >Message-Id: <8810171109.AA01591@scicom.alphacdc.com> >Date: 17 Oct 88 11:09:35 MDT (Mon) >From: udenva!scicom.alphacdc.com!isis!cyrill (Cyro Lord) > >Thanks for the information on the devtools. >Great response and information.

I have a few UNIX PC's running SysV 3.5 connected to a STARLAN network to a 3B2/310. I can narrow down the problem: the "rn" program chokes once it puts the UNIX PC in "cbreak" (non-buffered input) mode. I think it is a problem with the STARLAN driver at the UNIX PC end. The way I solve this is, once logged into the 3B2 with the Phone Manager and Terminal Emulator is perform an "rlogin" over our network (TCP/IP Ethernet). "rn" can then handle "cbreak" to what is now an Ethernet connection, connected to a STARLAN connection. (I found this, totally by luck). Our other network programs (telnet, ftp, etc.) have the same problem, but luckily "rlogin" back to the same host is a "quick" fix. =========================================================================== | Don Ferencz | "And in the end/ | | ferencz@cwsys3.cwru.EDU | The love you take/ | | Department of Systems Engineering | Is equal to the love you make." | | Case Western Reserve University | -- The Beatles | =========================================================================== ------------------------------------- To join this group or have your thoughts in the next issue, please send electronic mail to Ken Davis at the following address; {pacbell,netsys,hoptoad,well}!lamc!info-3b2-request The views expressed in Info-3b2 Digest are those of the individual authors only. ********************* End of Info-3b2 Digest *********************
