TEKTCP -- How to join the list & how to get it & the CMU enhancements The following messages are taken from the TEKTCP mailing list over the last year. I've edited them in order to give only the minimum information necessary to learn more about getting the product and joining the mailing list. Eric M. Berg Computer Facility Grad. School of Business Stanford University ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1986 13:36 EDT From: Douglas Bigelow To: Tektcp%KLA.WESLYN%Wesleyan.Bitnet@WISCVM.ARPA Subject: Archives now available As recently promised, I've set up a TEKTCP archive area available on Arpanet through anonymous FTP. The info is: Host: XX.LCS.MIT.EDU User: ANONYMOUS, pwd GUEST File: XX:<TEKTCP>TEKTCP.ARCHIVE.1 The file is protected for general access. When it grows enough, eventually, I'll break it into separate files by date. It contains copies of all the list correspondence plus any other information on the subject gathered from other lists. If you're on Bitnet and can't get to this archive, please send me another request and I'll send a bitnet file directly to you. Please do this even if you've previously asked for the archives, because I'm hoping most people can find a way to get them without my intervention. Please note that message 18 in the archive is from Jeff Mulick at Tektronix, and contains the information that many of you wanted about how to obtain the Tektronix TCP/IP package. [now slightly out of date-- see below-EMB] ------------------------------ Date: Mon 16 Feb 87 23:30:39-PST From: Tony Li <TLI%Sargas@usc-oberon.arpa> Subject: Getting Tek TCP To: tektcp@wesleyan.BITNET The following is an extract from the TEKTCP archives. Perhaps this should be posted regularly so that everyone gets it....? You have submitted a request for the VMS TCP/IP software distributed by Tektronix. Currently, this is only available for educational institutions. Please submit a letter, on your institutional letterhead, with the following information: 1. Full name of organization 2. What is the software needed for? 3. Will the software be used to communicate with another organization? If so, whom? 4. What level of VMS is the system at? After we have received this letter, and the above conditions have been satisfied, we will send you a License Agreement for signature. The License Agreement essentially says that you will not distribute this code to anyone else, and that copies of any enhancements will be sent to Tektronix. If you have further questions, please send E-mail. Thank You. Jeff Mulick, Engineering Network Manager Tektronix, Inc. Scientific Computer Center P.O. Box 500 MS 50-454 Beaverton, OR 97077 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Feb 87 19:56:50 est From: leong#@andrew.cmu.edu (John Leong) To: Tony Li <TLI%Sargas@usc-oberon.arpa> Subject: Re: Getting Tek TCP Re : TEK TCP software Jeff Mulick no longer work for Tektronix. Send all future requests to Dennis Thomas (same title, mail stop and address). Furthermore, if you have a Tektronix license and if you are an educational insitution, you can get the CMU version of the software (complement of our Computer Science department) for norminal postage and handling charge. The package differs considerably from the TEK original with substantial internal re-writes (not unlike the relationship between AT&T's UNIX and UNIX BSD) ------------------------------ Date: 18-FEB-1987 17:16:16.12 From: BIGELOW%VAX.WESLYN%WESLEYAN.BITNET%VAX.WESLYN%WESLEYAN.BITNET@Hamlet.Caltech.Edu Subject: TEKTCP list reorganization To: Tektcp-Arpa%VAX.WESLYN%WESLEYAN.BITNET@Hamlet.Caltech.Edu .....I've changed the list address to be in "generic" bitnet format. In addition, for those mailing from the Arpanet, there is now a direct arpanet list address that routes the mail here to me. So, you should be using the following: From Bitnet: TEKTCP@WESLEYAN.BITNET for list mail TEKTCP-REQUEST@WESLEYAN.BITNET for additions and deletions From Arpanet (or related nets:) TEKTCP@HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU for list mail TEKTCP-REQUEST@HAMLET.CALTECH.EDU for additions You can use the Arpanet address from Bitnet and the Bitnet address from Arpanet with no ill effects. JUST DON'T USE BOTH AT ONCE! They both go to the same place, so you'd be sending two copies of your mail. -- Doug Bigelow (Tektcp moderator) ------------------------------ Date: 6 Mar 1987 11:47:10 EST From: Dale.Moore%PS1.CS.CMU.EDU@Hamlet.Bitnet To: Info-Vax%SRI-KL.ARPA%PS1.CS.CMU.EDU@Hamlet.Bitnet, Subject: CMU/TEK IP/TCP News Several months ago Vince Fuller and I announced the availability of our modifications to Tektronix's VMS IP/TCP environment. The response was overwhelming. We like to think that we are filling a great need for a well integrated, and functional IP/TCP environment for VMS. Perhaps many of you sought this simply because the price was right. In any case we are finding that we are spending to much time dealing with administrative and non-technical matters. We wish to continue to improve and enhance this environment rather than spend our time answering questions about liscensing and adminstrative details. To help us out, another organization on campus has graciously offered their assistance in helping with the liscensing and distribution effort. They will also serve as a preliminary contact point for help in technical areas. Rather than contacting me (Dale Moore) or Vince Fuller for information on distribution, liscensing, and technical information please contact CMU-TEK TCP/IP Software Request Computation Center Carnegie Mellon University 4910 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 We will be willing to sign an agreement with anyone that has a valid Tektronix Liscense, and is in the United States. The work we've done on the Tektronix code was funded in part by DARPA, and our agreement with DARPA forbids us from distributing the work outside of the US. A tektronix liscense can be obtained by contacting Dennis Thomas Tektronix, Inc. Scientific Computer Center P.O. Box 500 MS 50-454 Beaverton, Or 97077 Again, the approach that we are trying to take is that we have done some work, and that by distributing this work others may find use in it. This is free software, please don't expect us to show extraordinary interest in your problems. -------
