[comp.unix.questions] TCP/IP software for SysV/386 ?

DH01%POLYTEC1.bitnet@ugw.utcs.utoronto.ca (Bodzio Dlugogorski) (07/09/90)

     I have a 386 machine (AT@T 6386E WGS) with UNIX System V/386
Release 3.2, which I would like to put on the Internet network.
Unfortunately, so far I have been unable to locate a FTP host with
a public domain software - STREAMS based TCP/IP with FTP and Telnet.
Does anybody in the UNIX world have any knowledge about the
existence of such a package or is my search futile ?
     From the vendors guide, which I have FTP'ed from sri-nic.arpa
(via bitftp@pucc), and from the discussions with wizards, I have
learnt that there are some commercial packages which would do the
job. For example, Wollongog's WIN/386, Lachman's System V Streams
TCP, and Microport's TCP/IP. Would any kind soul care to comment on
their advantages and their drawbacks ? (I am planning to purchase
Western Digital WD8003E card.)
     Please reply directly, I will summarize if there is interest.

Thank you,
                    Bogdan

  I don't know of any free ones. SCO sells a slightly modified Latchman
(sp?), and ISC sells one. The SCO versions includes NFS and SL/IP, I
assume ISC does but haven't checked.

AT&T _sells_ TCP/IP for the 6386 (Actually Wollongong TCP/IP (WIN 386, that 
is)).  You can also get a streams based version of TCP/IP directly from 
Wollongong, or the Lachman stuff previously mentioned by Mr. Davidsen.  I 
think that you can also get Interlan TCP/IP for the '386.

But _public domain_ Snicker, Giggle...Oops, sorry.  Don't know of anyone who
has one.
