To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu

I was wondering if anyone has tried to run bpq under os2? I am getting ready
to try this and would like to know if I am going to run into any stumbling
blocks.. Any information you can send my way would be most appericated.
tks

Subject: Dynamic Routing question
To: <TCP-Group@UCSD.Edu>

   Say there are 3 stations on the same freq using 1200b tncs - A, B and
C. A and B can talk to each other.  B and C can talk to each other.
During night time hours, A and C can talk to each other.  Will either
RIP or RSPF automatically change the routing between A and C as
conditions change?
   Now assume that the marginal path between A and C is a 9600b, 440
path and that the solid path of A - B - C is a 1200b path. Does this
have any effect on either RIP or RSPF? Thanks.

Also gcc, MIPS C, VAX C.  I tried them all!  :) The bug is unbalanced
parentheses in some of the macros near the start of the code.  Fix four
lines so they look like this:  (a) = ROTATE_LEFT ((a), (s)); \ and you will
have beautiful 286-able .exe's.

Subject: New WAMPES version
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu

I have uploaded a new version of WAMPES (wampes-930623) to UCSD.EDU.

This version fixes a problem with newer versions of Linux UUCPs.

I want to point out that people from within Hewlett  Packard may get the
newest WAMPES version  anytime by ninstalling it from  mdddhd.fc.hp.com,
or by anonymous ftp from mdddhd.fc.hp.com.

This is the README file:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wampes-930623.tar.Z  (compressed) and wampes-930623.tar.gz (gzipped) are
tar archives of WAMPES,  which is a NET/NOS port to HP-UX.  It currently
supports HP 9000 series 300, 400, 700, and 800 computers,  running HP-UX
08.xx or HP-UX 09.xx.

I ported  WAMPES to SunOS  4.1.2 and to 386BSD  0.1.34,  and it compiles
there, but I do not have  enough  time to really  test it.  Feedback  is
welcome.

WAMPES was ported to Linux running on a 386 by Olaf Erb, dc1ik.  He also
ported it to ULTRIX  4.2A on a  Decstation  5000 with gcc  2.3.3, but it
wasn't tested properly, too.  Comments and questions about the Linux and
Ultrix      port     of     WAMPES      please     to     Olaf      Erb,
<erb@insu1.etec.uni-karlsruhe.de>.

To unpack this archive you should  create the  directory  /tcp and cd to
it.  After unpacking please read the file /tcp/doc/intro.txt.

wampes-930623.tar.Z,  wampes-930623.tar.gz,  and all followups should go
into /hamradio/packet/tcpip/wampes on UCSD.EDU.

73,
Dieter Deyke, DK5SG / N0PRA, <deyke@fc.hp.com>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From: Paul Traina <pst@cisco.com>

The A/UX 3.0 port is fully  functional  now.  This is a  straight-across
port with no operational changes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now it's here!

This is the  documentation  for the RISC iX  (Acorn  R260  etc)  port of
DK5SG's Wampes.

To install it, unpack the archive in a directory  named /tcp.  Then copy
the files *.R into  /usr/lib  (you must be root of  course).  Then cd to
/tcp/src,  run make  (without  arguments...)  and  ignore  the  compiler
warnings...

To compile convers, cd to /tcp/convers and run make.

I hope, the port is 100 percent correct.  It works here at least :-)

Have fun with it.

iX port please mail to

although I would really try to answer such a question too.

I just tried to reduce code size, using MD5C.C taken from RFC 1321.
Seems I gained 5.6kB (compiler TC 2.0), 8086 code is even shorter
(about 850 bytes) than your 386 assembly code in MD5.C r1.5.
Of course, speed is worse now - by factor 1.65 compared to the MD5C.
Quite good when speed is not important and code size critical.  73's

Subject: Print service into Pa0gri NOS
To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu

I work with PA0GRI's NOS version (2.0m) and I wish to use the
print services built in source code. Naturally I compiled the executable
with the client and server LPD .
I think all is right , but I do not know how to operate with LPD.
I can imagine the I have to attach the asyncronous com port with "raw" mode,
but can I use the parallel port ? if yes , How?
And then how can initialize the print server lpd apart to give nos the
command "start lpd"?
The documentation is lack about that , so I wonder if someone has
experience on it.
All kind of information are welcomed.
Thanks for now.
