[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Help on a uvax/ultrix problem

beach@DDNUVAX.AF.MIL (darrel beach) (08/29/90)

Well here's one for the unix gurus with the right secret puzzle ring. 
We have a uvax II with ultrix 3.0.  We use Milnet TACs to upload binary
files and frequently use the @B I S command on the TAcs to put the TAC
into binary input mode.  We appear to have a problem in that whenever
the DO BINARY is negotiated from the TAc to the uvax, the uvax puts the
pty into raw mode.  At least I get the same symptoms if I login to the
uvax and do a 'stty raw' as I get when I do an @B I S on the TAC.

We normally use zmodem, specifically rz on the uvax.  I tried creating
a script as follows:
/*
rz
stty cooked
*/
I called it tacrz and tried it but it didn't work.  I still couldn't
get the uvax to do anything but echo after the receive file was
finished.  Anybody got any ideas on what I can do.  How about writing a
c routine to exec rz then make a curses noraw call???

Can I access the socket used for the telnet session and force the TAC
out of binary mode by giving it an IAC DON'T BINARY and hope the
response causes the uvax to do what I want??  Any other ideas?
