The SVr4 source package includes Lachman TCP/IP code. Binary distributions for AT&T 3B (and probably 386 - haven't seen it) have TWG binaries included. On the 6386, the Micom/Interlan package we OEM'd has been replaced with TWG.

Uh, the 6386 definitely does not come with WIN/TCP automatically. It is an *option*, as is the Interlan solution. You can get either WIN/TCP 3.0 for StarLAN cards or a Racal Interlan s/w-card combo. Note that AT&T's version of WIN/TCP is still 3.0. Wollongong sells 3.1 themselves as the current release, and they include drivers for a number of common ethernet cards (AT&T strips those out). On my 6386s, I'm running Wollongong's own 3.1 version on WD cards because I have to use interrupt 2 (=9), and WIN/TCP 3.0 doesn't handle that interrupt properly... -- Alan Denney # Informix # aland@informix.com # {pyramid|uunet}!infmx!aland "These tests will have no effect on your grades.
