[comp.os.vms] Wollongong WIN/VX TCP/IP

kvittem%vax.runit.unit.uninett@TOR.NTA.NO (Olav Kvittem) (06/03/88)

Does anyone know if the current version of Wollongong WIN/VX
TCP/IP software support the Domain name system in any way -
either by resolver or also by offering a Domain name server database ?

Also does anyone know if they, i.e. Wollongong, are reachable by E-mail ?
Surface mail from Europe takes some time, and phone calls have to be made 
at nights !

We run the release 2.3 software and have some trouble with
FTP get and dir from CMU-TEK TCP/IP to the WIN/VX system - 
it doesn't work.

Thanks for any answer

Yes, WIN/TCP v3.0 and v3.1 use the domain system - both the resolver and
nameserver work.

We have v3.1 and it works ok with the CMU stuff - not great, but it
works.  I think it's due to some problems in v6.2 of the CMU code.

We're not running the Wollongong software, but we do have a copy of their
documentation (WIN/TCP final release 3.0), and it indicates that they
do support domain name service.  

    Also does anyone know if they, i.e. Wollongong, are reachable by E-mail ?

They're on the Internet as TWG.COM (also known as "TWG.ARPA").  Try 
"Postmaster@TWG.COM".

Correction, use "support@twg.com".  In any case, your question has been
forwarded appropriately.

We run WIN TCP/IP with full domain name server. One system is the name server,
another is a caching only node. There are a few problems mainly to do with
our site specification (multiple domains under one root). Its' taken me
a fair bit of time to get the system fully functional, but now that it is,
its' ok. We are running V3.2 if TCP/IP. The system talks to other name servers
on campus and we are using subnet masking and routing to allow for other
domains.

hope this helps,

I must agree.  We had horrible problems with 2.x.  3.1 works so much
better.  They seem to have gotten their act together and produced some
top quality software.  In fact, I have had more luck using
Wollongong's version of FTP to the rest of the internet than I have
with sun's in SUN-OS (3.4).  Wollongong's newest release is 3.2, but
it just came today, so I can't comment further on it.

The original poster asked what Wollongong's e-mail address was.  The correct
address is "support@twg.com", if you are on the internet.   I hope this helps.
