Subject: FTP NLIST format
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Does anyone have a hack to make the FTP NLIST format
compatible with UNIX SVR4? Many of the new windows IP
clients try to interpret the format to provide
point-and-click directory switching and file selection. The
WNOS formatted display is different than any of the more
widely known formats supported by these packages (e.g.
QVTNET, SuperTCP, Pathway Access,...).
Thanks,

To: gateways@mpg.phys.hawaii.edu
Since Michigan is now subnetted and everyone is changing IP addresses the
Detroit hamgate is also changing. Here's the info on it.
hostname old address new address
wsu.n8fow.ampr.org 44.102.0.196 44.102.48.2
wsu1.n8fow.ampr.org 44.102.0.197 44.102.48.1
I'll also be uploading to the hamgate a new domain.txt file (I'll put
a hosts.net file too) in the /pub/hosts directory for the state of
Michigan. It also lists the subnets and what county they corresponds to.
UCSD.EDU should be updated too, I'll check to see if it's been
done though.

It depends on the software. If it is NOS, then NOS does all the AX.25 level
processing, and you see the same thing that the normal TNC mode produces.
NOS doesn't do AX.25 any different than the TNC, but offers higher level
TCP/IP type stuff.

All the low level stuff is still taken care of by the HDLC chip in the TNC.

Yes, it's called an unspecified digital code. You can do anything you could
do with AX.25 except transport third-party data. But then again Pactor is an
unspecified digital code and the FCC hasn't complained about that, so the rule
is not enforced.

Well, ethernet is like AX.25. It has it's own wrapper around the IP, so you
are one level lower. It's a radio SLIP link.

Paul.... if you are refering to the TCP/IP packages for the Macintosh
for packet radio, they can be found at ucsd.edu in
/pub/hamradio/packet/tcip/pa2aga directory. The latest release is
NET/Mac 2.3.21. The applicable mailer, Ivo's Mailer the replacement for
BM, is now up to IM/Mac 1.0b27k.
You might also want to gewt the "environment" package that is available
there too. It will give you all of the neccessary folders and paths for
setting up the entire system... you cannot run JUST NET/Mac and IM/Mac.
There are other requirements too.
