G'Day, I've seen several messages refering to KA9Q as a TCP/IP for the IBM-PC. There are a couple of questions I have about it for use in a tertiary institution. 1) What are the copyright arrangements? 2) What utilities are available? (Telnet, FTP etc) 3) What is the minimum PC configuration necessary ? 4) Does it support the MICOM INTERLAN NI5210 ethernet boards? 5) Where can I get it? (Particularly if available in Australia) Don Griffiths

There are a couple of questions I have about it for use in a tertiary
institution.
1) What are the copyright arrangements?
Free to radio amateurs and educational institutions. All others must contact
Phil Karn (karn@ka9q.bellcore.com).
2) What utilities are available? (Telnet, FTP etc)
{Telnet,FTP,SMTP,Finger} {Server,Client}.
3) What is the minimum PC configuration necessary ?
It will run in 512K, maybe a little less.
4) Does it support the MICOM INTERLAN NI5210 ethernet boards?
Only if you get the ni5210 packet driver.
5) Where can I get it? (Particularly if available in Australia)
The alpha release version of NOS is available from flash.bellcore.com:
/pub/ka9q/src.arc. NOS has never been officially released. NET, which
is fairly out of date by this time, is available from the same place.
