I need a working version of rexec/rsh for the PC, and I haven't been able to get the PCIP rexec to work with the packet drivers. The various "pcip_pkt.arc" distributions include no instructions at all, and the custom.exe utility doesn't seem to know about packet drivers. The one distribution that had a one page "you're on your own" letter didn't even include netdev.sys! (This was the simtel/wuarchive CMU-PCIP). How do I properly configure PCIP to use packet drivers, and where is the best place to get the packet driver version of PCIP? Also, from browsing the docs and using custom.exe, it seems that PCIP doesn't support ARP, and requires an explicit ARP table.

BTW, how do I set up PPP in that -- specifically, how do I use the packet/header compression (or does that work yet)? ------ Don Loflin UT Computation Center dll@emx.utexas.edu
