It was suggested to me the other day that the POP servers available in the P.D. and the POP[23] mail software that FTP supplies with PC-TCP Plus may not work under the TCP/IP support provided with UNIX System V Release 4.x. Could an experienced person please try to shed some light on this? Thanks, Pete -- Prof. Peter J.

PC/TCP only includes POP[23] clients. There are at least three freeware POP3 servers available via the Internet, but I believe they all assume a Berkeley 'sockets' API for TCP. If your particular SysV has a reasonably complete 'sockets' implementation, you shouldn't have any trouble with the network side of the server, but at least some SysVs only support AT&T's 'streams' API for TCP. If you have one of these, you've got some coding to do... James B. VanBokkelen 26 Princess St., Wakefield, MA 01880 FTP Software Inc. voice: (617) 246-0900 fax: (617) 246-0901

Or, if it's S5R4 and it's one of those, you've got some yelling-at-the-vendor to do, 'cuz S5R4 systems are *supposed* to come with a reasonably complete sockets implementation....

It is a LOT easier to port BSD/ULtrix code to V.4 thatn it is to V.3 tho.
