Hallo, I've just (thanks to the Examples) got the 3.3 named server up and running for our LAN. I have a question that I couldn't figure out from the docu- mentation (I fear the answer is no), but maybe some named guru can help me. On our LAN we have a couple of TCP/IP terminalservers. They are used to allow flexible terminal access to telnet-able hosts and (now the difficulties start) to provide service for computers not on the net. To do this, the computer is connected to one of the servers async ports and the server sets up a telnet service waiting on that port. To distinguis the ports (computers) the server waits on different tcp port-numbers (e.g 4711 instead of 23). The question: is there a way to generate a named entry that tells the requesting world that host xyz has IP address a.b.c.d and is waiting for telnet on port 4711 ? Any help is highly welcome Regards Martin Knoblauch TH-Darmstadt Physical Chemistry 1 Petersenstrasse 20 D-6100 Darmstadt, FRG BITNET: <XBR2D96D@DDATHD21>
