Yeah, I run the same wollengong software on my 3b2/300 and the 513/udp port is the rwhod. I have a gateway (Proteon p4200) that picks these up all the time (since they are a broadcast) and reports "no server port 513" or some such and throws it away. Kill the rwhod if you don't want the port 513 annoyance. BTW, port 513/tcp is the rlogin port. Mark Also, my sendmail accepts "."'s I believe..... I have noticed that the wollongong telnet sometimes has difficulty establishing a connection with other telnet daemons. Have you? Also, the routed program doesn't seem to work, but early versions of routed never worked anyways..... :^) This tcp/ip software really makes the 3b2 halfway useable!

I got your message. Yes, our Physics Dept. told me that their CAD/CAM IBM 4341 always receive packets from the 3B2 looking for port 513. I did not the reason. Now I stopped the RWHO daemon. Our "mailx" really have problems with dots in the host names. I reported this problem to AT&T, a technical support person in AT&T information system told me that "telnet" and "ftp" have no problem with dots. But "mailx" just can not take any dots in the host name. I kept the mail message from AT&T, I will mail it to you later. Our "telnet" on the 3B2/300 works fine. It can login to Pyramid, IBM 3081, iBM 4341, DEC VAX 11/780, Sun work stations, DEC-20. I can not see any difficulty in connecting to other hosts. I never tried routed "mailx". Frank C.
