Greetings. "smtp.tar" and "pop2.tar" are available via anonymous ftp from the directory "pub" on Venera.ISI.Edu, a BSD 4.3 Unix host. Ftp in binary mode, place the tar files under your "srccmd" directory, and untar them. The makefiles are in the same format as the makefiles in the CMU pcip distribution (e.g., "smtp.3d" is the makefile for smtp, for Microsoft C version 3.0, with DEBUG #defined and "smtp.3n" is the same, expect that DEBUG is not defined) and require Microsoft's MAKE utility. Please be warned that I have only been using these 2 programs compiled under Microsoft C version 3.0, for the 3Com 3C501 Ethernet controller, and so I have no idea how well they will work for other versions of Microsoft C or the other ethernet cards that CMU pcip currently supports. The smtp code was evidently developed at MIT during John Romkey's years there, and so we've preserved MIT's copyright notice on it. The smtp doc comes from MIT. However, Dale Chase here at ISI did a lot of modifications to the code and he (not MIT) wrote the pop2 program. There is no documentation for the pop2 program, but the source code should be pretty much self-explanatory. Enjoy! /Koji
