From: Ron Tencati <TENCATI@JPL-VLSI.ARPA> I'm just wondering if anyone else has a configuration similar to ours: We are running the Kashtan 4.1cBSD version of the internet kernel software on our VMS system. Our VMS MAIL program has been patched to accept upper and lower case, and recognize exclamation points in the "To:" field so that our users can mail to "MAILER!User@Host". This mail is locally delivered to our pseudo user MAILER and distributed over the net from there. I assume that FTP and FINGER servers remain the same. What I am trying to do is determine if the 4.0 change is going to affect anyone in the same way it is going to affect us. I would be interested in hearing from people who are not running Wollongong-supported software as to just what it is they have. We have a problem with buying the TWG release in that someone has to pay for it, and it isn't really nice to tell your local hosts that they will have to cough up $$$ if they want to remain on the net. Although that may well be the case. Thanks for your inputs. Ron ------
