Just a request for any information out there. Does anybody have any experience with internetting Unisys 5000s? These beasts run some flavor of Unix. The words filtering through the grapevine are that Unisys wrote TCP/IP, FTP, SMTP and Telnet from scratch, and that there are a few problems with it. Any comments are welcome. Darrel Beach -------

Any comments are welcome. >Darrel Beach >------- Yeah, we beasts run an ugly UNIX flavour called SysV, yacky :-). Also the internetworking comes from Excelan as an OEM product, and those guys wrote TCP/IP also for VMS and Sun machines. I think there are a few problems, but there are always problems with all software in general. I've tested the r-series commands (rsh, rcp, rlogin) to a VAX running 4.2 BSD, and also the ftp and telnet to SUN:s and Apollo workstations. We found *one* bug in connection with a Bridge Server and telnet (a minor one), and this was corrected in the latest release. Don't trust the grapevine, man... -Kent Sandvik- -- |COMPRESSED SIGNATURE:ADDRESS:Vallgatan7,17191SolnaSwedenPHONE:+46 8-551639| |job,-7333235 homeARPA:enea!mapper!ksand@seismo.arpa UUCP:ksand@mapper.UUCP| |Thrue Utopia Fan\007.Telex-to-work:10499.Looking-for-other-ROLAND-D-50-own| |ers.DOB:600418.Discl:They just don't know(Oliver North).FIAWOL.Oh, shitEOT|
