Hi, we have trouble getting a chat-connection between our Xerox 1186s and SS1s. The LispMs seem to go into an infinite wait state waiting on a response from the SS1s. But opening a file browser for the SS1s works fine. Has anyone discovered this problem as well? Any hints, tricks or fixes around? Some additional information: SS1s: running SunOS 4.0.3 with YP 1186: running InterlispD Thanks in advance, Toni Beschta -- Anton Beschta Inst. f.

And I also have the same problem. The TCPFTP-Package works well with UNIX-Workstations such as Sun-3, Sony-NEWS, and VAX11. But TCPCHAT-Package can not connect to SunOS4.0(Sun3), NEWSOS3.2(Sony-NEWS) and ULTRIX2.0(VAX), but can connect to SunOS3.5(Sun-3), NEWSOS2.2(Sony-NEWS) and Bridge Communication-Server's port. When I trace TCPCHAT's packet, it seems that the protocol of SunOS3.5 and SunOS4.0 are different. (NEWSOS2.2 and NEWSOS3.2 has same problem.) I think that NEW-UNIX(4.3BSD and like that) uses different TELNET-protocol from OLD-UNIX(4.2BSD and like that) for some reason. TCPCHAT knows only one protocol of OLD-one, so TCPCHAT cannot connect to NEW-UNIXs. I found difference of protocols, but cannot fix this problem. -- Tetsuo Sakaguchi, University of Library and Information Science, JAPAN E-mail address: saka@ulis.ac.jp (JUNET/ULIS) 74420.237@CompuServe.COM (INTERNET/CompuServe) PEC00237 (NIFTY-Serve only)

A thought occurs to me.. Are you folks having problems connecting to 4.3bsd hosts using trailer encapsulation on those hosts? I seem to remember that Koto didn't deal with that very well. In your /etc/rc.boot file, does the ifconfig have the -trailers option? ...arun

Hey, my first thought was "That's it". But a look in rc.boot shows the following: ifconfig ec0 131.159.8.49 -trailers broadcast 131.159.255.255 up ifconfig ie0 131.159.8.49 -trailers broadcast 131.159.255.255 up ifconfig le0 131.159.8.49 -trailers broadcast 131.159.255.255 up We don't use trailer encapsulation on any of our hosts. But as saka@ulisnrt.ulis.ac.jp (Tetsuo Sakaguchi) mentions in a previous article the problem seems to be a difference between BSD 4.2 and BSD 4.3. Any comments on that? And why is the file browser able to login? Previously supplied help (thanks to all who dropped me a message) on that topic didn't solve the problem.
