Subject: NFS for AT&T 3Bx's
I don't want to anounce a product that hasn't yet come out, but my sources
(which are QUITE reliable) say that AT&T will be coming out with NFS to run
on top of the WIN/3B TCP/IP product. Just a note -- my sources also tell
me that the NFS port was NOT done by Wollongong.
This product will require SVR3.1 and WIN/3B.
As for trys to port, Lachman associates has ported this product -- and quite
well I may add. They only sell to OEMs though -- guess you'll have to
wait for the AT&T product.

Please, something really need to be done about all the excess headers.
I know we have talked about this before, and a concern was expressed
about being able to get a return message path, but it is damned
difficult to find the worthwhile information in short messages due to
low s/n ratio. And responding (other than to the list as a whole)
becomes an adventure in itself. See the below example. Why don't you
send a correct "From:" header in user at site format (as many mailing
list do), and let the mail software figure out how to get there. At
least get rid of the "Received", ">From", and "X-Mailer" junk.
Perhaps comp.sys.att.3b2 could cure it all... :-)

Denny

I've run into the problem that rn won't work over a STARlan network
also. I can invoke it and it shows the first screen, but then it
freezes. Anyone have a clue or a fix? Vnews and readnews don't seem to
have this problems.

Yep, me too. I have a few UNIX PC's running SysV 3.5 connected to
a STARLAN network to a 3B2/310. I can narrow down the problem: the
"rn" program chokes once it puts the UNIX PC in "cbreak" (non-buffered
input) mode. I think it is a problem with the STARLAN driver at the
UNIX PC end. The way I solve this is, once logged into the 3B2 with
the Phone Manager and Terminal Emulator is perform an "rlogin"
over our network (TCP/IP Ethernet). "rn" can then handle "cbreak"
to what is now an Ethernet connection, connected to a STARLAN
connection. (I found this, totally by luck).
Our other network programs (telnet, ftp, etc.) have the same problem,
but luckily "rlogin" back to the same host is a "quick" fix.
