[comp.protocols.appletalk] UAB

cck@CUNIXC.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU ("Charlie C. Kim") (11/02/88)

There are two problems with it as it went out.  First, our local copy
of appletalk.h has diverged from the last release.  It makes a
difference only in that  I redefined ddpRTMPRQ to ddpRTMP_REQ -- you should
change it uab/rtmp.c (to read ddpRTMPRQ).  Second, in the ethertalk
module, it does a sizeof(lap) where it should use lapSize -- this
causes problems on a Sun 3 since sizeof(lap) evaulates to 4 instead of
3 due to structure alignment junk.

Please note that I have not tried uab on anything else except Ultrix
(which only runs on vaxen :-) and SunOS 4.0 on a Sun4.  I have no idea
if the code will work on other machines - I would have tested it on a
Sun 3 if I had had the opportunity, but did not, and don't have the
time to do so right now.  Preliminary reports indicate that there are
other problems with code on a sun3 right now.

Again, I must reiterate that UAB is meant for those who have a very
strong understanding of the appletalk protocols and the specialized
networking features (DLI and NIT) under ultrix and sunos.

Has anyone gotton UAB to work on a DECStation 3100?  What modifications 
need to be made?  Any information most appreciated.

I tried, but even though the necessary include files exist on the
DECStation 3100 I am using, uab failed to work, outputing the following:

# /usr/site/etc/uab -D 10
uab: 18:00:15 04/05/90  Port description match on harriet.cc.utah.edu

Note that my kernel configuration file includes:

  There is no le0 on a 3100.  Use se0

I tried using se0 and got a similar result, this time saying
"Protocol not supported".  

GUILDER.MIT.EDU# uab -D 10
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90  Port description match on GUILDER*
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90  interface se0
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90          local delivery is modified KIP forwarding
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90          network number from network
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90  pi_open: Protocol not supported
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90  Couldn't establish the port
uab: 13:51:53 04/12/90  NO CONNECTED PORTS, ABORTING

I don't know if my kernel supports DLI; does it matter and if
so, how can I find out?
