Has anyone out there some experience with the UREP (unix rscs emulation
program)  running on another UNIX version than bsd4.2 ?
I am especially interested in ULTRIX1.1 or Microport system5/AT.
Any help is welcome!
Joachim

We are running UREP on a Harris Corp HCX-7.

Could you please, anybody out there, tell me what UREP is, what it does, and
how to get this application?. Thank you.

UREP stands for UNIX-RSCS Emulation Program.
Why don't you give Philip Prindeville
a call at 398-3711.  He's just completing an
alternative to UREP.  Our CS department has UREP,
but no longer runs it, if I'm not mistaken.

The following comes from help file in our cms systems:


UREP - UNIX/RSCS Networking
 
At the Pennsylvania State University, a system is being developed under UNIX to
emulate the functions of IBM's  Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem (RSCS)
network.   RSCS provides networking between IBM  VM/370 systems as well as with
non-VM systems  to permit  remote job  entry,  transfer  of files  and messages
between users, and the remote execution of CP (Control Program) type commands.
 
The PSU package permits a UNIX user  to submit jobs for remote batch execution,
transmit  files both  from and  to remote  sites,  process  mail,  and  execute
commands on remote systems with results  returned to the user's terminal.   The
system provides such  features as monitoring and control of  the actions remote
sites take and automatic re-routing of both files and messages.
 
Under the PSU system, a UNIX installation is considered a peer host to the RSCS
network,  not simply  a workstation.   Compatibility with the  remainder of the
network is retained while providing an environment nearly identical to the non-
networked  UNIX  environment.    For  example,   to  carry  on  an  interactive
conversation with a VM  user,  a UNIX user would use a  modified version of the
'write' program.   Remote  host and remote user names are  specified at command
execution.  The remainder of  the terminal session appears identical  to a non-
networked communication session.
 
UREP 3.0,   now under  development,  is  designed to  support the  NJI protocol
driver,  IBM's NETDATA (DMSDDL)  file format,  and a variety of hardware lines,
including the  DEC DMF-32  and DUP-11,   UDP/IP over  Ethernet,  and  RS-232 or
similar asynchronous lines.    Also planned is a link that  will utilize DECNET
under Ultrix.

HELP!!!!

My Vax-11/750 4.3BSD is on both Earn/Bitnet and UUCP networks. Things
work fine on UUCP but I have a lot of trouble with Bitnet.
The software linking the vax to Bitnet is UREP 3.3
As a Bitnet site, we receive from the network but we cannot send
mail to it.
It seems DOMAINS file does not work properly.

Who could help me!!!
