Hallo OS-9 Users, we are using the internet support package and there are some problems. 1. We wanted to implement rwho etc. but for this we must access the broadcast address. This does not seem to work, as we don't get any packet from a broadcast address. Even opening the socket with the broadcast address itself does not help. But using a modified version on beam, we get the packets, but only when sent under normal address, not broadcast. 2. FTP complains about missing modules when you are coming from an extern machine. So it is impossible to ftp to our machine. Ftp from our machine to remote hosts is possible. Finally a question: Are rlogin and rsh/rcp soon to come or is it worth to implement them ourselves ? Thanks for any good answer hacki PS: The package seems to run fine with a good performance, but we will try some test... -- Juergen Hackenbroich | Tel. +49 (231) 51908-20 Dr. Materna GmbH | jh@materna.uucp Vosskuhle 38 D-4600 Dortmund 1

Outgoing broadcast does not work in V1.0 of ISP. This has been fixed
in V1.1 which has just been released last month. Subnets (and subnet
broadcasting) are not supported but are expected to be in a future release.

Your system should be capable of successfully running 'tsmon' and supporting
terminal login. 'ftpd' expects that the configuration is a professional
system configured for multiuser timesharing: (i.e. tsmon/login present,
password file and SYS directory present).

Soon.
