Has anyone gotten a free (public domain or limited license) TCP/IP package working on a unix-pc? If so, please tell me where I can get it and any "tricks" you need to install it. I am currently trying to install a TCP/IP package called KA9Q. It is supposed to work on system V machines, bsd machines, etc. However, the only description of the installation procedure is for an IBM PC. Doing the "obvious" stuff (various defines pertaining to slip protocol and system V installation) does not work; the machine locks up when the executable program is run. If anyone has gotten this package to work, please post or e-mail me a message telling how to do it. Thanks in advance. -- John-Marc Chandonia | jmc@nuacc.acns.nwu.edu Integrated Science Program | jmc@elvin.esam.nwu.edu Northwestern University | jmc@isp.isp.nwu.edu

Information was posted some time ago on how to retrieve it by anonymous UUCP (I've since lost the info)-: In any case, this question and others about ka9q has been posted several times by several people, but it seems that answers aren't forthcoming. It's unfortunate, because the package could possibly be useful to some people (it obviously must be, since some people put the effort into it, and are using it). What would it take to convince anyone who has successfully set up and used the package to post even the most basic information on configuration and usage? -- Robert J.

Are these files available for FTP'ing anywhere? OR.. would someone in the area
download them and put them up for anonymous FTP? A posting to unix-pc.sources
would be appreciated, as I have gotten several mail responses to my original
article. Of course, if someone would like to mail them to me, that would
be best of all! :-)
Thanks,
JMC
