[comp.unix.questions] phone for BSD3.4+

andrew@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Andrew David Biewer) (02/20/88)

Has anyone been having the same problems getting phone(1) to work on
their system?  Here we have BSD4.3+ running and we've tried all sorts
of codes with no luck.  I hear from people running phone on their
4.3's and so I ask them if we could get the code from them but even
this code is incomplete in some way.  Does anyone have BSD4.3+ and
have phone(1) running?  If you do, could you possibly send me the
code?  I'll accept checks and money orders...but, seriously, I'll take
it in uuencoded form or anything.  Just tell me how you sent it.  OR,
if you know of the file server you picked it up off of, then that's
cool too.  Thanks a lot for any help.

I have gotten it to compile on both a 4.3 VAX machine and a 4.2 ISI.
The 4.2 required some hacking, but eventually worked. The only problem
was that i couldn't get access to root (and they "didnt want to install
it right now") so i the only use it was was when i ran the daemon and
others requested me. neat program, wish theyd consider installing it
here at ucsc. I believe i got the source originally from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu.

there is no point, this is BoFf!
