Does anyone have an software that allows 3b2-400's (running the latest greatest V.3) to talk to TCP-IP systems? Or, does anyone have anything that supports 3bNET on normal machines? Our AT&T people have no idea what we are talking about when we tell them we want our BSD4.3 Gould (running standard TCP/IP stuff) to talk to our newly acquired 3B2400's. How do other people do it?

Or, does anyone Well, as of 10 December the word I got from ATT was look for tcp/ip for the 3b2/X00 series to be available late in 1Q87. There was a version of 3bnet availabe for VAX/UNIX but it is no longer available. The 5.2 version of tcp/ip for the 3b2/X00 is a port from TWG and costs $5K on the open market. It will not run with 5.3 at all. Best suggestions I have are beat on your att rep for an early release or beta test copy. Barry Shien (bzs@bu-cs) at Boston University wrote a TFTP for the 3b2 which I haven't gotten installed yet. You might also consider beating on the wonderful folks at FTP Software to write a real implementation of TCP/IP for the 3b2. cheers /S* -- <latzko@andromeda.rutgers.edu Alex Latzko <anywhere!rutgers!andromeda!latzko Rutgers University - CCIS Newark 92 New Street RM 319 +1 201 648 5077 Newark, NJ 07102

It will not run with 5.3 at all. I thought the package (called "Enhanced TCP/IP WIN/3B", PEC # 1040-TE1) was generally available last April. We've had it here for some time (since beta test days.) Is it really not available outside AT&T yet? Release 1.0 (which is what came out last April) runs on SVr2 but not on the paging releases 2.1 or 3.0. Release 1.1 is supposed to run on all three systems. We just got an early copy of 1.1 and I plan to upgrade my 3B2/310 to SVr3 tomorrow to see how it works.

We are running a WIN TCP/IP package on an ATT 3b2/310 under sysVr2.
When can we get NFS? :-)

When I talked to the person from LAI he said it was not in a sellable form and he couldn't say if they ever would sell a port. They will happily sell you the sources since that is their business ( as far as I can tell). If enough people beat on them maybe they will make their demo sturdy enough to sell as a commerical product. hope this helps /S* -- <latzko@andromeda.rutgers.edu Alex Latzko <anywhere!rutgers!andromeda!latzko Rutgers University - CCIS Newark 92 New Street RM 319 +1 201 648 5077 Newark, NJ 07102
