I'm interested in acquiring a copy of ISODE 5.0. But unfortunately, I don't have access to FTP or FTAM on the Internet through which ISODE 5.0 is distributed. What I do have access to is the Internet mail. Does anyone out there know whether ISODE 5.0 is distributed through a mail server? If a mail server for ISODE is available, I'd like to get the details. Thanks Dhesikan.

FYI - The compressed tar file for ISODE 5.0 is 3.5 Megabytes. uuencode or btoa that and thats alot of bytes to be mailing around. You may be better off looking for some place you can uucp it from. /--------------------------------------------------------------\ |Jeff Michaud michaud@decwrl.dec.com michaud@decvax.dec.com| |DECnet-ULTRIX #include <standard/disclaimer.h> | \--------------------------------------------------------------/

Actually, he's better off just sending $350 to UPenn for them to send him a hardcopy of the documentation and a tar tape. /mtr

You may be better off looking for some place you can uucp it from. Yes, mail-based archive servers are a rude way to distribute big chunks of stuff and should be discouraged, perhaps even disparaged. And true to ISO form, ISODE certainly consists of big chunks :-) I decided yesterday that I had cause to get involved with ISODE, and used my guest account at cis.ohio-state.edu to get it from nisc.nyser.net. Since it was already there, I made it available via anonymous UUCP from osu-cis. Write to uucp@cis.ohio-state.edu (== osu-cis!uucp) for instructions if you need them. Both 5.0 and 5.8b (pre-6.0, right?) are available in 100,000-byte slices as osu-cis!~/ISODE/isode-5.tar.Z-part-?? (aa through bi) and osu-cis!~/ISODE/isode-pilot.tar.Z-part-?? (aa through bt), respectively. If you're a subscriber, you'll also find 5.0 on uunet!~/networking/isode-5.tar.Z, all 3,448,185 bytes.

You will remove any copies of isode 5.8b you have right NOW. That is a beta copy which is not to be redistributed. Remove it now. /mtr

Remove it now. OK, sorry about that - didn't mean to cause problems. I didn't know its status, just saw it lying there on the distribution machine and picked it up, always wanting to start with the Latest and Greatest. 5.8b is no longer on osu-cis for UUCP redistribution, though 5.0 is still there. I've started work on interfacing ISODE with our company's X.25 product (that is, adding MST_X25 to the list with SUN_X25, CAMTEC, CAMTEC_CCL, UBC_X25, and BRIDGE_X25 in config/OPTIONS, plus appropriate additions to h/x25.h and a new compat/mstx25.c). Should I be working with 5.0 or 5.8b? To whom should I give the changes for folding back into the mainstream release? Is 6.0 frozen so that my stuff wouldn't appear until 6.1, or is there still a chance of making it into the release? Again, sorry to make waves!

It is too late to add things for 6.0. A few things changed in the transport switch from 5.0 to 5.8b, so you should use 5.8b for your work. After 6.0 comes out, you should rework your stuff into that and then submit it if you wish! Thanks, /mtr
