Yes, I have problems with Wollongong's TCP/IP.
I am a system programmer and my duty is to support all the 3b2 and
3b15 machines donated by AT&T. I encountered several problems after I
have installed the Enchanced TCP/IP WIN/3B Release 1.1 interface
packages which are also donated by AT&T. Although I upgraded the
package to release 2.1 on the 3B2 machines, these problems still exist.
The problems which I have are as follows:
1. The sendmail program cannot receive the mail from BSD UNIX machines
(SUNOS, BSD 4.2 or above). I have the 5.58 sendmail source code
and left it untouched to compile on 3b2/400 using version 4.2 C
compiler. This sendmail did not work either. I got the write error
on socket operation. I tried to substitute the Socket compatible
library to TLI library. I got the illegal address error message
when I tried to t_bind the packet.
(Paul, Can you please show me your piece of code to t_bind the local
port properly?)
2. The ftp program did not work when I tried to use the put command to
put a file on BSD UNIX machines. It produced a zero byte file.
3. I also have the "plp" source code and I tried to port to System V to
have networking printing and you know it has the socket calls
everywhere. I need a GOOD copy of libnet.a library to make it work.
BTW, I have System V release 3.1, WIN TCP/IP release 2.1, and Networking
Support Utilities release 1.2 running under either 3b2/310 or 3b2/400.
I have System V release 2.1.1 and WIN TCP/IP release 1.1 running under
3B15.
I have called the AT&T hotline many times. They were not able to help
me in anyway. I was told that the problems would be solved in the next
release (3.0?).
