How do you do x.25 accounting fo Sunlink X.25? We want to keep track of who we are connecting to and how many packets we are sending. The only idea we have come up with to achieve this is to connect to the x25 trace port. There has to be an easier way. Bob Smart <smart@mel.dit.csiro.au> P.S. How about a comp.protocols.x25?

There has to be an easier way. If I remenber well, you can find a command called "vcstat" (in the sunlink directory) that do exactly what you want (SUNLINK 5.0). Try: "vcstat -i1 0" to get instantaneous view. Jean-Marc Jezequel

There has to be an easier way. If it's only for incoming/outgoing x28/x29 connections, these are logged in /usr/adm/x29serverlog and /usr/tmp/x29userlog. Otherwise there is not much of a chance than actually to use the trace socket or rely on external information (good X.25 switches can do this job four you though they can't find out about the user initiating the job). If you have Sunlink X.25 6.0 or older then it does'nt make much sense to use the trace socket, because it is exclusive access, so you won't be able to use x25trace while you're program is running (or the other way round). Vcstat, as far as i know does not use the trace socket, but the management socket, which (as far as i remember) can only be used by polling, so you may end up getting inaccurate numbers. --- Toerless.Eckert@informatik.uni-erlangen.de /C=de/A=dbp/P=uni-erlangen/OU=informatik/S=Eckert/G=Toerless No signature due to pending copyright lawsuit over last signature
