Recently installed the Excellan TCP/IP software and 205T board in an AT&T 8386 box, running AT&T's UNIX System V Release 3.1. The Excellan software is 8014-01. The machines seem to be able to "talk" ok with the exception of some failures with "rcp", "ftp", and "rsh" (remsh). Now Excellan does not presently support 3.1 and I am looking for someone whom perhaps has this package presently running under 3.1. Actually with the exception of the above problems, the system appears to perform fairly well although I have not yet done any programing with this package, any exchange of information regarding this would be appreciated. The other machines are running the "WIN" TCP/IP on AT&T 3B15's and UNIX 2.1.2. Some of the failures are in having the WIN software talk to the Excellan, and could possibly be the resault of the new stuff in 3.1 ( ie; /etc/shadow ) although I have not yet spent alot of time examining this possibility. It's unfortunate that I have only one Excellan package running to examine if this is a problem resaulting in the 2.1.2 and 3.1 or WIN to Excellan. Might also mention that I would gladly assist anyone attempting this port as well to get you at least as far as we have. -- Steven M.
