Hi folks. Happy New Year.
Sorry to bother the whole list with this but I wasn't sure what
else to do.
I'm looking for people who are running Wollongong and/or NRC FUSION
on VMS. I'm looking for the usual war stories and the answer to
"Which should I buy?". I need a good replacement for CMU TCP/IP which
was a temporary fix to another vendor's product that didn't work.
Thanks much.

We've been running WIN/TCP since version 2.3, and have had very few problems with it. We've been running the current release, WIN/TCP v5.0, for about 3 weeks now with no problems. V5.0 runs on VMS v5.0 on uniprocessors only - the release for SMP systems is currently in beta-test. Mike Iglesias University of California, Irvine

Chris, We first had version 2 of the Wollongong product some 2 years ago. It was so bad I went out and bought the CMU TCP/IP. Then it seems as if a SWAT team moved into the company because version 3 came out and that was a big Win (if you know your Wollongong product that was a pun). My immediate needs were for IP/TCP/FTP/STMP but now moving into the other godies provided eg domain name servers. The company is good at tracking the continuing developments (lke the Van J improvements to TCP) and I understand that the changes for VMS V5 will be available in the UK real soon now.

In reply to the following from <franceee@clutx.clarkson.edu>: > > I am planning a ~20 minute presentation on the subject of > Internet. However, no information is available through > the normal sources here (libraries, etc.). You may want to look at RFC 1118 "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Internet". If you have ftp access you can get this via anonymous ftp from NIC.DDN.MIL. Otherwise you can obtain it via the NICs electronic mail service by sending mail to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL with just the subject line: RFC 1118. Another useful reference which you would find in a technical bookstore is "Internetworking with TCP/IP -- Principles, Protocols and Architectures" by Douglas Comer, Prentice-Hall, 1988.
