address IN A DELETE
where address is the domain name you want to delete.
This should also work with other DNS records, just make the last field DELETE.

To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
In theory a graphical interface would be _more_ efficient if implemented
as a specific front end than an ascii link, because you can easily use
compression and single letter command codes. All the help files are local
and many commands are ablke to return short datablocks not explanations.
Think how inefficient the dx clusters are sending 80 character neatly formated
information lines for each DX spot - those could easily go in 16 or less
with local formatting.

Subject: New version of NET/Mac Available
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
A new release of the PA2AGA version of NET/Mac, version 2.3.15 has
recently been posted. There have been some major new function added to
this release and the purpose of this notice is to explain some of those
enhancements.
o New AppleTalk Driver Code
The previous version of NET/Mac used a driver which supported the
AppleTalk (AT) Link Access Protocol (LAP). As a result, a user was limited
to being able to only establish sessions with other users on the same AT
network. The new release uses a Datagram Delivery Protocol (DDP) driver
which now supports establishing connnections with all users in the same AT
zone. All problems with checksum errors that were a result of the old
LAP-based code have been corrected.
o Support of MacIP Protocol
This release of NET/Mac supports the MacIP protocol. This means
that NET/Mac can now support AT gateway products such as the Shiva FastPath
and Cayman Gatorbox. As a result, NET/Mac can now pass packets to an
Ethernet IP network via any gateway product which supports the MacIP
protocol for encapsulating IP in AT DDP packets.
NET/Mac can also now interoperate with Apple's MacTCP product.
This means that any Macintosh application which supports MacTCP, such as
NCSA TELNET can now talk to NET/Mac over an AT network. Please note that
NET/Mac and MacTCP can not run on the same machine at the same time as
there will be a conflict over the use of the MacIP socket.
o Support for the SLFP Protocol
NET/Mac now supports the MIT Serial Line Framing Protocol (SLFP)
which is used at MIT and the Merit Computer Network. This support has been
available in NOS for sometime and as a result of user requests it has been
added to NET/Mac.
o Support for the Buckmaster HamCall CD-ROM
NET/Mac now supports the format used for the callsign database
provided on the Buckmaster HamCall CD-ROM. The callsign database format
used in previous versions is no longer supported. Anyone interested in
using the callsign database lookup support should contact Buckmaster for
information on obtaining their CD-ROM.
This new release is available in the incoming directory of
ucsd.edu. It is also available at all SUMEX mirror sites and America
Online. Any support questions or comments should be directed to myself or
Adam van Gaalen PA2AGA at adam@IGG.TNO.NL.
