Subject: TCP-IP for AT&T UNIX_PC 7300's I hope someone can help me. I am a student in the Integrated Science Program at Northwestern University and we would like to hook our 7300's to the local campus network. This requires TCP/IP software, which we do not know where to obtain. Can anyone make any recommendations? Also can the 7300 handle a 19200bps line for the connection? I seem to remem- ber some discussion regarding this problem a couple of weeks ago but skipped over it at that point as it was not relevent then. Will modifications to the daemons help reduce the overhead so that the 7300 will be able to keep up with the traffic it must handle? Please excuse any ignorance on my part as I am still new to UNIX and the 7300's. Thanks. Robert Lentz Bitnet: Lentz@Nuacc Internet: Lentz@Nuacc.Acns.Nwu.Edu P.S. If anybody can recommend a good source for MMDF or another good mail program this would also be appreciated.

FTP Software can supply PC-based TCP/IP if you are running MS/DOS. FTP Software is in Cambridge, MA. There are undoubtedly other sources of supply including freeware say from MIT/LCS. The DDN Network Information center at SRI International is another good place to check - they have a lengthy catalog of software which they have compiled as "DDN Protocol Implementations and Vendors Guide" NIC 50002. It is also available on-line at SRI-NIC.ARPA. MMDF is available from Prof. David Farber, University of Pennsylvania, Computer and Information Systems: farber@cis.upenn.edu Vint Cerf
