I think part of the problem was that it was not hosted by a well-connected
site. I seem to recall giving up on it due to mail bouncing...
I do agree that we need a new mailing list which deals primarily with
physical layer issues. I have my hands full with the nos-bbs list and
numerous other things, but I certainly would participate... any volunteers
to set one up?

Yes, it's time to get this going again and, yes, I'll volunteer to run it
if nobody else volunteers :-)

Subject: Need help with unix, ham tcp/ip.
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
With the arrival of a spare 386 machine I am interested in getting
it running some kind of free unix (ive heard 386bsd is good) and putting
it on the air.
While I doubt many people will want to log in and write programs
for it, or anything crazy like that, this combinations seems intrinsically
more flexible to me than setting up a messy-dog NOS bbs, which provides
only file-transfer and routing capabilities.
On the other hand, I am not a unix expert. I use unix systems in
my everyday activities but use and installation/maintainence seem like
comparing the thoughts of worms to demi-gods. However I dont mind learning
and I haves several months to make everything work.
Heres the hardware:
386/25dx with 8 meg ram.
60 meg RLL (yuck) hard drive.
ethernet card
for the rf side: drsi pcpa-3, 9600 baud rf modems, radios.
(the drsi card is essentially just an SCC).
Here's what I'd like to do:
support interactive logins, a news reader,
remote ftp (i.e. from internet to the unix box).
AXIP and NET/ROM support a la WG7J NOS.
some sort of tcp and/or ip access control
(EDCM - Electronic Dweeb-Countermeasures)
What I'd like to Know:
Running this under DOS is easy for me. How much of a pain in the
rump is unix setup/maintainence going to be? (Except WG7J Nos does not
do everything I'd like on this list).
I assume that ham's have written drivers (NET for unix?) or something
that steps in at some communications level to implement the oddities that
exist for the on-the-air tcp/ip. 386bsd has (?) tcp/ip that will work with
the ethernet card I imagine.
What are these programs? Where can I find them? Will I be disappointed?
This system will run dedicated for ham-packet use. I don't
particularly care about watching the screen, or giving it a keyboard. Under
WG7J NOS this is not a problem, and actually (for my case) makes the system
a little more secure from random tampering. How much / how often will I
need keyboard + screen for unix. How stable is the 386bsd stuff? Ideally
this box never needs to be fooled with at the console. Maintainence, and
the obvious censorship/snooping required to keep stuff legal can hopefully
be done over a phone line or landline internet connection. Obviously
I can snoop etc... by logging in as root. Its the maintanence that worries
me.

PKWare recently released version 2.04c of pkzip/pkunzip. 2.04c has a
few problems, especially in the area of multiple disk archives, but is
considerably faster and has a new compression scheme called
'Inflation/Deflation'. It's rumored PKWare is working on a fix for the
bugs.
The latest from INFO-ZIP, unzip 5.0 patchlevel 1 and zip 1.9 patchlevel
1 both support archives assembled with pkzip 2.04c. All three programs
are available from the normal ftp archives (simtel and it's mirrors).
