For inclusion in TCP/IP Digest please
-------------------------- Cut Here ------------------------
Does anyone know of a source for TCP/IP software which runs
preferably under Coherent 4.0, although LINUX is an option,
and which supports the DRSI packet adapter card.
It chokes me to admit it, I'm completely new to the UNIX
environment, and as if that wasn't bad enough I'm not a 'C'
programmer of any worth either. So, the code would have to
compile with the minimum of problems.
I'm sure that all you UNIX types out there will appreciate
my new found excitement over UNIX, and my 'NEED' to find a
UNIX solution to TCP/IP packet radio, all be it with a DRSI
card.

Brian is there a way I can send a message to all or all on the tcp
group? The P3D-dev group is too limited distribution for this one
message I'd like to send concerning location of some coaxial switches.
Thanks

I've seen no driver for that card, and to do it properly someone
would need to write a device driver for coherent or unix or whatever
to drive the board.
With a normal TNC (ie KISS) , there are no real problems with tcp/ip
and/or ax.25 and netrom. Several packages exist that will do what you
want.
There is a very old version of the n6xjj net which works pretty well
although the netrom is slightly broken and it core dumps regularly.
There is another (now unsupported) version with a better node
interface and other fixes on sunacm.swan.ac.uk
Providing you can cope with an almost total lack of documentation
you can use WAMPES which is probably the best of the packages - although
it is broken as supplied and needs a small patch or it won't talk
to BPQ nodes (Seems to be a bug in BPQ).
Various people are working on other things for Linux and things
like coherent - notably GW3TMH who has been writing a complete
system under Coherent using a tnc in host mode for ax.25 and
GW7HZU who at one point was playing with kernel support for AX.25
UI frames and TCP - He's in the middle of finals now though poor
man.

Subject: NetRom Question
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Is there any way to link a BPQ/NetRom node with a PackeTen/NetRom node
via an internet gateway? There's a local BPQ/NetRom node that I'd like to
be able to link to the stuff in Chicago, but I don't want to have to
compile in the NetRom stuff if I don't have to. Will a simple axip link
do the trick, or do I need to set up NetRom under NOS? Thanks.
