Mail*Link* What happened to NCSA host? pr writes: > NCSA Telnet 2.3 is available from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu in the > NCSA_Telnet/Mac directory. I have been trying to FTP to it (at 128.174.25.50) many times over the last several weeks, but it never responded. Prior to that I had connected to it successfully on numerous occasions and don't reacall any instance of it not responding. Also, I used to receive the NCSA Telnet news bulletin every once in a while, not very regularly, but quite frequently. However, I did not received a bulletin for several months now. We are particularly eager to get a release version of NCSA Telnet 2.3 for the PC. The Beta I downloaded last does not work. Does anyone know whether they have gone out of the "business" of providing free software? That would be a tremendous loss! Has 2.3 for the PC ever been released? If so, is there an alternate host from which it can be FTPed? Wolfgang N. Naegeli Oak Ridge National Laboratory Internet: wnn@ornl.gov Bitnet: wnn@ornlstc Phone: 615-574-6143 Fax: 615-574-3895

Certainly they are still there. The problem is that you have the IP number wrong. It's 128.174.20.50 at zaphod. Is this what they call in the business a "probable user error"? :-) pr

Just so the NCSA people know, here is the info I get from the domain name system: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- % host zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu Name: ZAPHOD.NCSA.UIUC.EDU Address(es): 128.174.20.50 128.174.25.50 CPU: SUN-3/160S OS: UNIX MX: zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu;0 newton.ncsa.uiuc.edu;100 uxc.cso.uiuc.edu;500 % host ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu Name: zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu FTP.NCSA.UIUC.EDU Address(es): 128.174.20.50 128.174.25.50 CPU: SUN-3/160S OS: UNIX MX: zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu;0 newton.ncsa.uiuc.edu;100 uxc.cso.uiuc.edu;500 Services for 128.174.20.50: udp/echo udp/tftp tcp/ftp tcp/telnet tcp/smtp Services for 128.174.25.50: udp/echo udp/tftp tcp/ftp tcp/telnet tcp/smtp ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This implies that either (a) the domain server for ncsa.uiuc.edu is wrong, or (b) the second IP interface (128.174.25.50) is down. I can ping 128.174.20.50, but not 128.174.25.50. Is this what they call in the business a "probable network error"? :-) Rob >From: ux1.cso.uiuc.edu!ux1.cso.uiuc.edu!uxa.cso.uiuc.edu!pwrg6481@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu >Subject: Re: What happened to NCSA host? > > >wolfgang writes: > >> I have been trying to FTP to it (at 128.174.25.50) many times over the last >> several weeks, but it never responded.
