Can someone help me with calling TLI routines? My cc cannot find
t_open(), t_bind() and friends. "Network Programming" says that I must
use the -lnsl_s library but I cannot find it in /usr/lib.
Please e-mail me as I am not a regular reader of this group.

You do not specify which release of SunOS you are on, but in 4.1 and 4.1.1 the lib is /usr/lib/libnsl.a, called during link as -lnsl. The examples in the Network Programming guide or whatever it is called do not agree with the current device list in /dev/MAKEDEV either. I believe they tell you to t_open /dev/tipw or something. I have not read the section but have been helping a EE professor and some of his students. Opening /dev/tcp has not worked yet, so I was going to try /dev/nit next, following a suggestion by a friend of mine who is an engineer at Sun. Please let me know how you progress. Also anyone else who has anything to offer, I am interested and I do read the group daily.

I'm trying to find out about transport level interface programming. In particular I would like to know if the interface proveded by Sun (t_alloc, t_bind, t_close etc) is peculiar to Sun or if other manufacturers (particularly dec and apollo) will implement the interface in a compatible way. Any information will be gratefully received. Thanks, Chris
