MIT TCP/IP query

[David T. Coffield]

We have the MIT TCP/IP package for the IBM PC and are about (maybe) to buy
a 3Com Etherlink board to allow us to snap one onto our Departmental
Ethernet - which consists of a VAX and several Suns, running 4.2 BSD TCP/IP.

Part of the MIT information states that the BSD TCP/IP is non-standard
in several ways. Has anyone any experience of using the MIT package in
a BSD environment? What does "investing some effort in adjusting your
4.2 configuration" mean?? The intention was to be able to do remote
logins and file transfer to/from the PC from/to the VAX and Suns. Can we
do this, or are there a lot of problems on the BSD side?

Any pointers, hints, tips etc appreciated.
Reply by email, and I'll summarise if necessary.

	Thanks,
		David.
