#  The configuration file for the MacNET program...  this file
#  *MUST* be in the same directory as MacNET SLFP!
#
#  Note: MacNET SLFP ignores all lines beginning with a pound sign (#).
#
#  **********************************************************
#  **** Read USEGUIDE.DOC to help understand this file! *****

#
#    There are many commands which must be provided to NET.EXE
#    each time it is started to configure the program.  To keep
#    from having to type them by hand each time, we put them in
#    this file, which is read each time NET starts up.  Commands
#    in this configuration file are entered exactly as they would
#    be typed at the keyboard in the program.
#
#    We've tried to give you intelligent default values for each of
#    the commands below.  You need to read completely through this
#    file, changing things as you go.  If you're not sure what to
#    do with a command, try leaving it like it is!  Once you become
#    familiar with the package, you'll no doubt find things to change.
#    Once you're up and running and are all set, you can delete some or
#    all of the comment lines (the ones that start with '#') to save
#    disk space and make the program load faster, if you wish.
#
#-----------------------------------------------
#
# This entry tells NET.EXE the name of your machine.
# Note for Merit users: a hostname is only necessary if you intend to
# send and receive mail directly from your Mac, rather than by estab-
# lishing a mail account on a host. This requires leaving your machine
# on all the time (which forces your Mac to be a dedicated mailbox).
# IP addresses are assigned by Merit more or less randomly when you log
# on, so the IP address line here is also of no use (and it would be
# pretty hard to use your PC for mail when its address keeps changing.)
# Therefore, the mail feature has been disabled in this distribution of
# KA9Q. The ax25 commands are useful only in ham radio applications.
#
hostname Your_Name.cc.umich.edu
#ax25 mycall n0qrm-0
#ip address [yournumber]
#
#-----------------------------------------------
#
# The attach command tells NET.EXE about the interfaces in your computer
# that you will be using for TCP/IP.  These can include the modem or
# printer ports, or an AppleTalk connection.
#
# The syntax is:
# attach <hw type> <I/O address> <vector> <mode> <label> <bufsize>
#        <mtu> [<speed>] [<modem dialing command>]
#
# Merit users:
# This attach command is customized for machines using the
# modem port. To use the printer port, change the "X" to "Y".  The
# speed of 9600 presumes you are using the hard-wired phone-data
# connections on campus and that your connection is set for 9600 bps.
# If it is not, change this number to the correct bps.
#
attach asy  1 a slfp sl0 2048 232 9600
#
# See USEGUIDE.DOC for explanation of the attach command and its options.
#
# Merit Users Only:
#  If you think you have everything right but you still cannot get
#  through, you can try calling the folks at Merit.  Their number
#  is: [phone].  Be patient.  They receive a large number
#  of calls.  Note that they have little knowledge about KA9Q
#  itself.  The type of problem they're best equipped to handle is
#  determining whether your hard-wired Merit line is functioning properly.
#  If you don't have a hard-wired Merit line, Merit is just not going to
#  be able to help you.
#
#-------------------------------------------------
# This command is customized for Merit:
#
route add default sl0
#
#-------------------------------------------------
#
# Time To Live is the maximum number of hops a packet can take
# before it is thrown away. This command prevents an inadvertent
# infinite loop from occuring with packets in the network.
#
ip ttl 50
#
#-------------------------------------------------
#
# The Maximum Segment Size is the largest single transmission that
# you will send. An mss of 216 corresponds to the mtu of 256 set
# up in the attach command above, overhead bytes considered.
#
tcp mss 192
#
#-------------------------------------------------
#
# The Window parameter establishes the maximum number of bytes
# that may be outstanding before your system expects an ack.
# If window is twice as big as mss, for example, there will be two
# active packets on the channel at any given time... large values of
# window provide improved throughput on full-duplex links, but are a
# problem on the air.  Keep  mss <= window <= 2*mss if you're on the air.
#
#
tcp window 1920
#
#-------------------------------------------------
#
# This entry will open net.log in the :spool directory and will
# record the server activity of your system.  If you don't want a log,
# comment out this line... if you do, make sure you have a :spool
# directory!
#
#log \spool\net.log
#
#-------------------------------------------------
#
# Each of the servers (services you will provide) must be turned
# on before they will be active. The following entries turn all
# of them on. To turn any function off use the command 'stop' after
# NET gets fired up, or just comment out the line here.  If you
# need more information on any of the servers, see USERGUIDE.DOC.
#
#start smtp
#start ftp
start echo
start discard
start telnet

#---------------------------------------------------
# This version contains the following additions/changes:
#
# 1. Ported to MSC 5.0
#       (mainly affects: PC.C, ALLOC.C, DIRUTIL.C, *.ASM)
#    <ONLY APPLIES TO IBM VERSION>
# 2. Driver for Merit/MIT SL/FP (Serial Line/Framing Protocol) (SLFP*.*)
#       (very like SLIP, but with flow control & auto-IP addr assign)
#       (see AUTOEXEC.SLF for example Hard-wired Merit terminal)
# 3. Driver for Interlan's NI5010 card   (IL*.*)
#       (see AUTOEXEC.IL for example)
#    <NOT APPLICABLE TO MACINTOSH VERSION>
# 4. FTP Password Blanking
#       (instead of "pass" <password>, type "pass" <cr> <password>)
#    <NOT YET AVAILABLE IN MACINTOSH VERSION>
# 5. IP TRACE command
#       (gives snapshot of what goes where - currently only for NI5010)
#    <DOES WORK FOR SLFP IN MACINTOSH VERSION>
# 6. Minor change to CMDPARSE.C allowing subcommand option querying
#       (try "attach ?")
#
# Warning to Users: <refers to IBM version>
#
#    I've been using a solid version based on 871225.16 for the past several
#    months.  This isn't it (see umix.cc.umich.edu's pub/net_0404.arc).
#    This version (umix.cc.umich.edu's pub/net_0727.arc) is based on release
#    871225.22 with lots of Turbo-c porting and who knows what else, and
#    then my stuff folded in.  I finished integrating it last night and ran
#    a few "normal use" tests: pings, ftp (text & binary), telnet, dir, !.
#    These didn't give any problems, but you
#    would be wise to keep an older (known-to-work) version in reserve.
#    I will be leaving the country for five weeks starting August 5th,
#    and have any number of things to do between now and then.  I'll
#    probably also be very busy for a couple of weeks after that, so it's
#    likely that I won't be of much help again until early October.  Still,
#    I don't anticipate many problems.
#
#                     Have fun,

# P.S.-- A considerable thanks also to Howard Chu for identifying a
# bug that was making it impossible to use a termcap when signed on
# to UNIX systems. If any of you have additional trouble, say, running
# vi, please send them in writing to: Greg Scott, U.M. Computing Center,
# 535 W. William, Ann Arbor MI 48103. Greg will not be able to answer
# any technical questions at all, but can hold mail for those who can.

#
#    About the Macintosh version:
#    Not wanting to be left out, Dave Koziol and I added the SLFP routines
#    to the latest version of the Macintosh port of this program.  While
#    this does allow one to use all of the functions provided by the
#    KA9Q package, except for the termcap support mentioned above, the
#    only practical use for this program is to directly establish an ftp
#    connection via a line driver/SCP port or dial-up line, without
#    requiring that the Macintosh be attached to an AppleTalk network
#    with a Kinetics Fastpath gateway.  The command-line interface is
#    very un-Macish, and may be uncomfortable for Macintosh users.
#
#  So why don't you make the program more Mac-like?
#    We won't be doing this for two reasons:
#    1) Another person (in California) has assumed responsibility for
#       maintaining the Macintosh version.  He didn't include the SLFP
#       support, and it remains to be seen whether he can be convinced
#       to add it at this point.  If this is not done, then each time
#       a new version of the code is introduced, we would need to
#       reincorporate the SLFP support.  Since we aren't getting paid
#       for this, it's simply not possible.
#    2) Because of the way the program is written, adding support for
#       multiple, scrolling windows would be very difficult.
