[comp.os.os9] BSD TCP/IP utilities for OS-9

abl@cernvax.UUCP (alastair bland) (09/21/90)

Has anyone found or ported OS-9 versions of the following UNIX BSD utilites:

tftp, tftpd
rsh, rshd, rlogin, rlogind, rcp
cpio
RAND editor (e)
gcc, gas, gld, gdb

Has anyone managed to simulate in a general manner the UNIX fork for OS-9?

Has anyone heard of a Boot Protocol (BOOTP) for OS-9 or for Unix but  with
the  possibility  of  loading  an  OS-9  operating  system? (We use mainly
Motorola 147S, Eltec E5/E6, Themis and CES processor cards).

Has anyone implemented Reverse Address Resolution Protocol  (Reverse  ARP)
for OS-9?

Has anyone got a good OS-9 Token Ring driver?

Has anyone managed to find out why NFS for OS-9 is so slow?

--- I am interested in commercial ($$$) or Public Domain (0$) solutions ---

[ for those of you who have understood the questions here is our config:

  Motorola 147S-1 (on board ethernet)
  Microware OS-9 2.3
  Microware Internet Support Package (ISP)
  Microware NFS
  TOP utilities
  TOP library

Not that I know of, but there is a tar port.

Yes; the port was done by some folks in Japan.

Not that I know of--OS-9 systems can't be counted on to have the fancy
hardware required to make the overhead of the Unix fork() tolerable.

Yes, we have one available! It is distrubuted on our systems with tape
drives, but cpio can be used for other purposes. It is a good alternative
for Microware's FSAVE and FRESTORE. Reply of you want a qoutation.
