Would you please tell me how I can get hold of Unix KA9Q? Thanks, Craig. craigb%ipso.ips.oz.au@uunet.uu.net

I have a version of Phil Karn`s TCP-IP software written for the AZTEC C Compiler, is there anybody out there who knows how I can get a version of KA9Q written for the Microsoft C Compiler? Jan Raaschou SICS Box 1263 S-164 28 KISTA, Sweden

Some questions on KA9Q:
(a) Are ethernet drivers available/in the works for
other boards than the 5c500/501 that is supported in the
version I have (Jan 20, 1988)? I have the 3c503, 3c523
and the BICC 4113.
(b) Is porting KA9Q to Turbo C easy? Has anyone done it?
(c) What is the current status of KA9Q? Is my version
totally obsolete?

Some answers on KA9Q:
(a) Are ethernet drivers available/in the works for other boards

KA9Q supports the packet driver spec. I have written (ported,
actually) a number of packet drivers (availability given below), and I
have a shell for a packet driver so that the only parts that need to
be written are those that concern the hardware in question. In other
words, none of the latter are supported, however I am willing to help
you write one.
(b) Is porting KA9Q to Turbo C easy? Has anyone done it?
Yes. I have a kit (availability given below) for porting KA9Q to Turbo C 1.0,
1.5, and 2.0.
(c) What is the current status of KA9Q? Is my version totally obsolete?
Not totally, but close. Phil is working on a version that uses lightweight
processes, but it's not released yet. The latest version that Phil put out
is 871225.33.
Packet drivers and Turbo C porting kit availability:
The Turbo C porting kit is available from
archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu. Send a message consisting of
'send ka9q kit.uu' and you will get a uuencoded .arc file back.
Similarly for drivers.uu, the packet driver archive. If the From:
address in the header isn't an internet or bitnet address, include a
"path foo!bar!whatever@baz.domain.address" line so that sun.soe can
get back to you.
This version is current to TC 2.0 and .30 version. Will probably work
just fine with the .33 and nrnet version(s).

I now support the FTP Software Packet Driver interface, which means that the package will work with any board that has a packet driver. This now includes the 3C501, TRW PC-2000, Western Digital WD8003E, Micom/Interlan NI5010 and NI5210. There is also a packet-driver based SLIP. Russ Nelson, Bob Clements and Karl Auerbach did these drivers. >(b) Is porting KA9Q to Turbo C easy? Has anyone done it? Russ Nelson has been doing this for some time. I am currently about to convert over to Turbo myself as the primary version -- I've gotten tired of hearing so many people ask for it! >(c) What is the current status of KA9Q? Is my version > totally obsolete? Most likely. Pre-release (working but undocumented) versions can be found on flash.bellcore.com under /pub/ka9q/nos.arc; the file currently there is source code only. Phil

We are going to be adding some pc's to our ethernet soon, and I am looking into the feasibility fo using KA9Q on them. What ethernet boards does it support?
DMPM@DUKEMC.BITNET (James Dryfoos- PostMaster) (02/23/90)
I just pulled ka9q and am trying to set it up. I am using a 3com 3c501 and cannot get the attach command to work. I even tried an example out of the documentation directly and it does not work. I did attach 3c500 0x300 3 arpa ec0 5 1500 and get Unknown device. Also tried 3c501 and some variations, but get same. Is there something else I may be missing? -Jim

We have a D-Link LANSMART network in one of our lecture rooms here and would like to allow machines connected to this network to run Telnet to connect to our VAXs. The D-link network ethernet is run on completely seperate ether to that of out VAX. Thus we require some sort of bridge between the two ethernet. Given the traffic from these PC's will be low, I thought it might be possible to do this using another PC running KA9q, to bridge the IP packets on to our central ethernet. Is KA9q capable of this and where can I get the latest version and documentation for this. Many Thanks Edmund

Edmund, Yes, right now I'm sending this message from a 386 on my home Ethernet. It is linked to work with a pair of PCs running KA9Q as routers on opposite ends of a dialup PPP link. I am also using VJ TCP/IP header compression. The latest versions of KA9Q can be obtained by anonymous FTP from thumper.bellcore.com under the /pub/ka9q directory. My "standard" versions are under /pub/ka9q/nos while several experimental versions contributed by others can be found in parallel directories. The documentation is in /pub/ka9q/docs. Note that this stuff is undergoing constant evolution at the application level, but the basic IP router stuff is pretty stable and reliable. Note also that this is a side project for me, and I have a VERY limited amount of time to spend on supporting it. Phil

I am running the G1EMM version of KA9Q on a PC and I'm having problems when I telnet in from a remote host. The PC is connected by SLIP to a workstation which is on our ethernet. When I telnet in from a Mac running NCSA Telnet, I get the login prompt but can't see my login name as I type. Everything else works fine after that. When I telnet in from a SUN or DECstation, I can't backspace properly. Whenever I type a DEL character I get back a ^?. When I type a control-h I get back a ^H. Anyone seen these problems before with KA9Q? Is there a workaround solution? Antonio Querubin tony@uhcmtg.phys.hawaii.edu
