I am conducting a BOF at the upcoming TCP/IP conference in Arlington VA called "Standard socket level interface for PC's". Many vendors now have or will soon have resident TCP/IP code for PC's, however, there is no standard interface. Many of these vendors also have socket-style libraries or resident code with no standard for which calls are supported or how one interfaces to them. The purpose of the BOF is to generate interest in standardizing a BSD socket style interface to TCP/IP for IBMPC MS/DOS applications. All are welcome to attend, especially PC TCP/IP vendor representatives. Drew

Drew, You say : > I am conducting a BOF at the upcoming TCP/IP conference in Arlington VA > called "Standard socket level interface for PC's". Are you specifically entitling the BOF such that discussion of interfaces other than socket-style, are out of order ? There have been some alternative suggestions which I think are worthy of discussion (eg. TLI, a standard driver interface). Keith McCloghrie The Wollongong Group.
