Hi, I would like to find out how to get a subscription to the tcp-group
digest, and it has been suggested that I try this address.
Could somebody send me the details please?? Thanks .....

To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Has anyone seen a Gnu tar which includes support for packet drivers (under
DOS)?
I've got Gnu tar under linux and SunOS which can do
tar cf remotehost:/dev/mt0 ....
or whatever. It makes backups easier, if the tape drive is located on another
machine.
Gnu tar can use rsh, and rmt on the remote host. I *think* Ive seen
a packet driver rsh on DOS, but Im not sure if it works.
thanks..

I should have made a note of this I know!
Does anybody have the address/details of a/the high speed packet list,
I am sure I remember seeing messages about one a while ago.
Thanks, Mike

Sorry to bug everyone with this post, but listserv@ucsd.edu doesn't
think I'm subscribed to anything, and I still keep getting this group.
Can some Samaritan there please unhook me? Thanks.

Definitely it is bad for generic RFC-822 system.
However you can use it with following kind of arrangement:
"kf5mg@kf5mg.#dfw.tx.usa.na"@your.gateway
This makes the left side (aka "local part") of outer "@" to be
a quoted string, in which you can use just about anything you wish..
That "local part" is to be analyzed only by "your.gateway", no
other system is allowed to munch its contents.

I've already started breaking NOS up under Linux, and inserting segments
of 'real' applications by routing packets through to the real host
tcp/ip layer. Its effectively much of what Wampes also tries to do. The good
news for people wanting to do it is that it works well, although portability
of the first version I tried (PA0GRI v17j) was very bad. I got hold of
the current AmigaNOS and had it running on Linux well enough to run my
node 24hrs a day in about 2 days of work. If anyone wants bits from it
like the ksubr.c to do the threads on a 386 under Linux just ask.

I've got another idea. Now that I've made NOS's API very similar to
that of Berkeley UNIX, how about porting the bigger applications
(particularly the mailbox) from NOS to 386BSD?
This would give the mailbox a much better base on which to grow (a
real file system, lots of virtual memory, a real time-slicing
operating system with inter-task protection, among many other things),
while NOS could settle down and do what it does best -- acting as a
dedicated packet radio gateway and router. Plain vanilla AX25 users
could be handled with a simple NOS server that would automatically
open a TCP connection to the mailbox on the 386BSD machine.
And maybe, just maybe, people would discover all of the nifty network
applications that already exist under 386BSD, like sendmail and the
domain name server, and not reinvent them...
