Mind you, it will have to interoperate with Suns (3, 4, & >386i) running various versions of the OS (4.0.1 through 4.1.1), and PCs running >3Com Ether+ software & (probably) cc:mail (hmmm... Kind of sounds like we need >to start our own mailing list for those of us that have VAXen, Suns, and PCs >with cc:mail and having to make them interact -- Let me know what you think of >this idea), etc.... I'm assuming from your comments later in the message that you mean VAXen running VMS. Several IP for VMS vendors ship with ports of the 4.3 BSD BIND DNS server, including: Company Product ------- ------- TGV MultiNet Wollongong WIN/TCP Network Research Fusion CMU CMU/Tek I think that CMU/Tek either now has or soon will have (Bruce, am I lying?) a BIND server. I know the others do. If you need contacts at any of the above, I can forward them to you. I think that you'll find that most of the vendors who have ported BIND will state that they are "bug-compatible" with the 4.3 BSD UNIX version. This should make the versions interoperate with any other implementation that is bug-compatible. Regards, -----Stuart

Don't know for sure offhand, but it seems like our Wollongong stuff uses DNS on VAXen. > Kind of sounds like we need to start our own mailing list for those > of us that have VAXen, Suns, and PCs with cc:mail and having to > make them interact -- Let me know what you think of this idea I'd like to know more about cc:mail capabilities in the environment you describe... > BTW, does anyone know of a full suite of TCP/IP applications written to run > on OS/2 (with the 3Com Ethernet software)? 3Com's 3+Open TCP/IP includes an OS/2 version as well as a DOS version.

FTP Software do, and this little firm called IBM have had a go as well, although their latest effort involves yet another standard adapter interface, so I don't know of the support for 3com cards. Disclaimer: we sell some of the software mentioned above (guess which :-) Ian ... what's a .signature file?

IBM TCP/IP 1.0 and 1.1 for OS/2 EE supports 3Com Ethernet cards including the 3C523 and I believe the 3C503. It supports DIX2.0 and IEEE 802.3 packet formats. It has client and demon for telnet, tftp ftp, rexec, sendmail, and a number of other standard utilities. At version 1.1 it supports NFS but with some security holes. It provides Kerberos support, an RPC package, a sockets package, terminal emulation for VT100, IBM3101, ANSI, and 3270 terminals. It seems to work well on my PS/2 80-111. I use the packages to work with Prime, MIPS, Sun, Apollo, and IBM. Ed
