Does anybody know where to get a public domain or cheap version of Telnet/FTP for an SCO Xenix system. I've looked on uunet.uu.net and found source for Telnet that seems to work for just about every other UNIX system made.

At least on the sparc I have access to. SET HOST connects to the internet host specified and a subsequent CONNECT opens a terminal session. as 5a also compiles on xenix it should work there also. regards, el -- Dr. Eberhard W.

Uh, you have to have TCP/IP running here, as you would on a sparc, but TCP/IP is an extra cost add-on (and it includes telnet) in Xenix. -- UUCP: {rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!woodb!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans%fallst@wb3ffv.ampr.org Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Ct, Fallston, MD 21047

Were these creatures available then the ka9q package will work for you. However, unless one has this non-existant driver then the only thing ka9q or kermit will do is get you SLIP access to another host that may have the capabilities that you are after. Anybody got any ideas why there is no development in this area? Russ Nelson: could the packet drivers be ported to Xenix? -- /============================================================================\ + Dan Ellison, Network Admin - internet: dan%c-mols@siucvmb.cdale.siu.edu + + Molecular Science Program - BITNET: dan%c-mols@siucvmb.BITNET + + Southern Illinois University - UUCP: uunet!siucvmb.BITNET!c-mols!dan + + Carbondale, IL 62901 - PHONE: (618) 453-7321 + \============================================================================/
