Department of Defense Standard Networking for 386 UNIX!
First in-kernel 386 TCP/IP for sale!
Twice as fast and 1/2 the price of competition!
Streamlined Networks is proud to announce a new product for
the UNIX LAN market: the Streamlined TCP Workstation Package.
Streamlined TCP supports the core protocols of the Department
of Defense's TCP/IP network protocol suite and is based on
the well-known BSD TCP/IP package. Streamlined TCP runs
under the UNIX V.3 STREAMS architecture and supports RFS,
the X Window System, and all other network applications that
use either the TLI or socket() programmers libraries.
Streamlined TCP is shipped bundled with an Ethernet adapter
for the PC/AT. It runs under UNIX V.3/386, XENIX/386 (soon),
and Microport System V/386.
Streamlined TCP is priced at $795 US. This includes Ethernet
adapter, software, and manual. As an introductory special,
through November 31 we offer the Starter's Kit:
o two adapters
o one manual
o two software licenses,
o Thin Ethernet connectors, terminators
and 20' cable
for only: Twelve Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars, that's $1299 (U.S.).
Streamlined TCP is a "pure port" of the BSD network software
into the STREAMS system. Streamlined TCP is one large STREAMS
module with the protocol family software "encased" within.
The 4.3 code has almost no changes in it, and thus no bugs were
introduced in the process. Features supported:
o The new Jacobsen/Karels congestion control enhancements
are included.
o TLI (Transport Layer Interface) is AT&T's alternative to
sockets(). Streamlined TCP supports TLI for the TCP protocol.
RFS and other TLI applications have been tested. The release
comes with a script that sets up an RFS network.
o The remote login and telnet daemons use the the new
STREAMS "pushable line discipline" to achieve much more
efficient and stable virtual terminal performance.
o The TTR (TeleType Remora) module transforms a standard
terminal into a STREAMS device. The LDS (LoopDown Scanner)
module connects two STREAMS queues and reflects down each
queue all data that travels up from the other. The rlogin
and telnet clients use these two modules to achieve excellent
virtual terminal performance.
Streamlined Networks, a self-funded company based in Fremont, CA,
was formed in 1986 to build specialized system software for UNIX
on the 80386 based on DOS-market peripherals. Streamlined TCP is
the first in a line of networking and other solutions for 386 UNIX
VARs and power users.douglas@twg-ap.UUCP (Douglas P. Ambort) (03/29/89)
WIN/TCP for 386 STREAMS, RELEASE 3.0
NOW AVAILABLE FOR
386 UNIX SYSTEM V 3.2
This new release of TCP/IP from The Wollongong Group, Inc.
provides BSD 4.3 features such as the Domain Name Service
and subnet routing. This is virtually the same code used by
AT&T to win the AFCAC 251 government bid with the AT&T 3B2
computers.
WIN/TCP for 386 STREAMS Release 3.0 operates on 80386 AT
class computers which support UNIX System V Release 3.2.
The product has been tested with the following UNIX System V
Release 3.2 operating systems:
+ Version 3.2 of Intel UNIX System V 386
+ Interactive Systems' 386/ix, release 2.0
In addition, the product has run in customer sites on UNIX
V/386 3.2 from Bell Technologies and UNIX System V Release
3.2 from AT&T.
WIN/NFS for 386 STREAMS will very likely run on 386 AT
systems with other implementations of 386 UNIX System V
Release 3.2.
Several device drivers have been added. WIN/NFS for 386
STREAMS Release 3.0 now supports the following Ethernet
interfaces:
+ 3COM 3C501
+ 3COM 3C503
+ Intel PC586
+ Western Digital 8003E
This product should run successfully on any AT-bus 80386 PC
that supports almost any version of UNIX System V Release
3.2 (such as SCO UNIX V 3.2 and Interactive's 386/ix Release
2.0).
The list price for WIN/TCP for 386 STREAMS is $450. Volume
and Educational discounts are available. For further
information, contact The Wollongong Group, Inc. at (415)
962 7100.
