It is not very good.....AND very hard to program in. For VAX news I prefer to use NNTP over DECnet. DEC's first try a TCP/IP is not very good. It has A LOT of problems. I have writen FINGER, SMTP, and TELNET just for fun...It was not easy. DEC does not provide DNS or default routing......Just static routing and host tables. I am a UNIX prgrammer....I don't like QIO. This is not like standard TCP/IP programming. I found programming Sunlink DNI much easier. Note: I have heard that the next release will be MUCH better. And since this is the only TCP/IP our system has, I have to make do. -- Andrew Lindh, a student at the University of Hartford -- Computer Science BITNET: LINDH@HARTFORD.bitnet INTERNET: lindh@uhasun.uofh.edu UUCP/Usenet: lindh@evecs.uucp ---- When will I grduate???
