[Line eater appetizer] Request for XENIX TCP/IP Beta Sites Interlan is currently looking for qualified beta test sites for its NP621A Intelligent Ethernet communications processor. The processor supports TCP/IP on-board running under the XENIX SCO V PC/AT environment. User interface software supports the Berkeley 4.2 socket interface. Utilities include ftp, rlogin, rsh, telnet and rcp. Interested parties should respond to: ...mit-eddie!interlan!chris or snail mail to: Chris McIntosh Micom-Interlan 155 Swanson Rd. Boxborough, MA 01719 Tel. 1-800-LAN-TALK ext. 721 (outside MA) 1-800-TELL-LAN ext. 721 (inside MA)

How about routed, rwhod, rwho, ping, ICMP echo? (I think ICMP echo should be required but SOME vendors don't provide it. Names on request.) tcp/ip uucp (a good way to bring up mail and news quickly)? As far as I know neither CMC nor Excelan do routed, though I have asked for it. Excelan does claim to do rwhod and tcp/ip uucp, although I haven't tried either of them. Their ftp seems to go at about 80,000 bits per second "get"ting into /dev/null on a 6 MHz PC/AT. Wonder of wonders, Excelan provides a real slide latch on their interface instead of the stupid screws that 3 Com expects. It works well with our DEC lightweight office transceiver cables. > Chris McIntosh > Micom-Interlan > > Tel. 1-800-LAN-TALK ext. 721 (outside MA) > 1-800-TELL-LAN ext. 721 (inside MA) You know, I really hate "cute" telephone numbers. They take about four times as long to dial. I wouldn't mind as much if the companies would provide real numbers but they always make you translate it yourself. -- In California, the personals have three sections, "Women Seeking Men", "Men Seeking Women", and "Men seeking Men".
