If you get tired of filling requests, you can point folks to my BBS, which as
I have mentioned here before, is the central distribution point for all new
releases of the software that Phil, and I, and others have written.  The info
is 303/593-0766, pretty much 24hrs/day, 300/1200/2400 baud.  No real 
restrictions on first time users.

It seems more fair to me that individuals pay the phone freight than that
multiple mailings cause multiple companies/individuals to have to pay for a
long phone call...

The files are also available for uucp request from winfree, but I do not
currently allow anonymous uucp logins.  That *may* change soon.

My mailbox overrunneth!!!  I'm averaging one request per hour for
Phil's code. Here's how to obtain the distribution via anonymous
UUCP from 'ncc'.

First, add the following line to your L.sys file:

ncc Any ACU 2400 14034250342 "" \r ogin:--ogin: nuucp

or for 1200 baud access

ncc Any ACU 1200 14034250342 "" BREAK\r ogin:-BREAK\r-ogin: nuucp

The distribution is split into four files as follows:

-rw-rw-r--   1 lyndon         0 Jul 22 11:24 FILES
-r--r--r--   1 lyndon     61089 Jul 21 11:53 exe.tar.Z
-r--r--r--   1 lyndon     42474 Jul 21 11:54 misc.tar.Z
-r--r--r--   1 lyndon    142666 Jul 21 11:52 src.tar.Z
-r--r--r--   1 lyndon     96487 Jul 21 11:54 tnc.tar.Z

exe.tar.Z contains the MS-DOS binaries
misc.tar.Z is the documentation and bm (Bdales Mailer)
src.tar.Z is the source code for everything except bm
tnc.tar.Z contains the Terminal Node Controller stuff (not needed for Minix)
FILES is a list of the current directory contents

All files are in 16 bit compressed format.

Once you've decided which files you require, queue up a SEPERATE
request for each file as follows:

	uucp ncc!~/pub/ka9q/src.tar.Z /usr/spool/uucppublic/ka9q/
			    ^^^^^^^^^
			Replace with appropriate filename

You should take a copy of the FILES file first, just incase the
distribution breakdown is changed.

Please note that this is NOT the most current release of the
software. I have been waiting for the new versions to stabalise
a bit before bringing an updated copy in. Given the amount of
interest I will be obtaining the most current release in the next
couple of days. You might want to wait for it (I will post an
announcement as soon as it's online).

If you have any problems with UUCP, send mail to me and I'll
check into it.

For those of you with anonymous ftp access, it is also available from
louie.udel.edu, "10.0.0.96", in the "pub" directory, file name
"ka9q_all.tar.Z".

Why doesn't someone just post the source....  It can't be all that big.
I have seen several postings (part1...partn) that have made it through
the Net.  Go for it!

The compressed tar file on our machine is 1/2 meg.  The uncompressed tar
file is almost 1 meg.  That is a LOT of stuff to be mailing around.  Do
we really want that?

The current version of the sources are available from the internet host
louie.udel.edu.  A release is scheduled some time this month - so it
might just be best to hold off a few days.

There is a mailing list for developers working on this code - send a
message off to tcp-group-request@sdscvax.ucsd.edu (or whatever the
uucp-mail address is there, I dunno about that).

			No No No No No!

The package *IS* big, though much, much smaller than the PC/IP source
distribution.  Much easier for those who care to get it from louie, via
uucp, or from my bbs.  Why make the whole world pay distribution charges
for something so few have an immediate need for?

The code on louie was just updated by Phil to rev 870526.5, which contains
quite a few internal changes from the .0 release.  I'm working on integrating
his changes with stuff from a *lot* of other folks to issue another major
release.  I'd really hate to waste net bandwidth with code that's about to
be obsolete, since I assume most folks have 870526.0...

If we ever get a release that we're happy with, maybe a post to one of the
sources groups would be appropriate.  With the rate things are changing right
now, I don't think so.

The big news for this group is that the new release in a week or two will
have support for running as a single process under bsd or sysV.  Assume that
with a serial port driver for Minix (I don't have one?  Did the post not
get here?), that it will be trivial to bring it up there too as a single
process.  Not wonderful, but a start!

Thanks for asking and not posting!
