Has anybody run nntp successfully over DECnet on Ultrix 3.0? I'm experiencing numerous problems: with ANU-news nntpxmit simply hangs, with nntp 1.5 nntpxmit gets a premature EOF. If I use a simple program that directly uses system calls instead of stdio and I enter nntp commands by hand everything works. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simon Poole poole@verw.switch.ch/poole@chx400.switch.ch/mcvax!cernvax!chx400!poole ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not having any problems (I transfer ~500K articles to other news systems and have ~450K articles read via NNTP from my news host). I've made some changes to NNTP to make NNTP over DECnet more efficient (which I really need to feed back into NNTP 1.5.6). But I don't use ANU-news so I can't commment on it. -- Matt Thomas Internet: thomas@decwrl.dec.com DECnet-ULTRIX Development UUCP: ...!decwrl!thomas Digital Equipment Corporation Disclaimer: This message reflects my own Littleton, MA warped views, etc.
