To: [e-mail]

IBM has announced a TCP/IP package for DOS/WINDOWS or OS/2 for $150 until
February 17th. The DOS kit includes telnet,mail,FTP,LPR,SNMP with GUI's.
OS/2 gives that and network news, CID for remote installation, workplace
shell - this is the base kit for $150 - also available is NFS, NETBIOS,
program development support, windows sockets API, and X windows

1-800IBM-CALL, ext S83


I wonder if anyone has seen this package and can comment on it?


Also IBM has announced an OS/2 upgrade for windows for about $50 that
is suppose to do all kinds of great things.


Anyone have that one yet?

To: [e-mail]

My PK-88 supports "Extended KISS". This appears to include checksums,
reporting of the transmission of a packet, and polling of the TNC by the
host.

I have an old paper on SMACK that is part of the documentation distributed
with WAMPES, but there seems to be more to "Extended KISS" than is in this
paper. Is there a more recent reference that someone could point me to?
Preferrably one that can be e-mailed or one that I can retrieve on the net.

    Thanks

Wow.  Is this all a good thing?

KISS = "Keep It Simple, Stupid"

No, it was just me piling conjecture on top of conjecture, and getting
paranoid, and reading more into what I heard than was there. Sorry.

Subject: NOS SMTP Gateway
To: [e-mail]

Has anyone figured a way to get NOS SMTP to do the following:
Try to send direct to station. If station not on air (after n tries), send
mail to a SMTP gateway. The gateway machine would then hold the mail until
the station is heard? We want a way to hold mail without having to leave
PCs on all the time, but prefer direct mail if station is on the air.

Thanks, John kb5ggo

I thought that was what POP was for - works fine here. Stations can interogate
for mail as they desire, when they desire.

Yes, POP works well for Ethernet, but we are using various NOS over radio,
and they don't have a POP client. Are there any NOS's that have both POP
server and client??

JNOS and many of it's variations include defines in config.h for pop2/3
server and client. You can have them all or whichever you want.

Here, as the server I have pop2 and 3 server defined. I compile the user
code for pop3 client. I believe that the pre-compiled exe's for JNOS that
are floating around have pop3 client defined.

I am a happy user of both the IBM DOS/TCPIP and the OS2/TCPIP. I use
them at home primarily as an FTP server to move files between machines.
I also do NFS mounts of UNIX servers from my OS/2 machines to get more
disk space :-)

Note that the OS/2 version will support DOS programs using the WinSock
interface also.

What I would really like is a "hook" for AX.25! I am looking at this
for the OS/2 version.
