  Thank you!  That was indeed my problem with finger31.

  However, I have still been unable to get wsmtpsrv to work.  I tried telneting
  in to the smtp port and most of the time it GPF's in itself.  Some of the
  time it works correctly.

  I looked for ws_gmail as someone suggested, but have not found it.

  I also have similar problems with Alun Jones' wftpd.  I am wondering if there
  is a timing problem with the use of the 3com 3c509 card - I hear it is
  strict on interrupt timing due to a small buffer.  Wftpd will lock the
  system after a transfer and GPF (in itself) on an "ls" sometimes.

  I also have my suspicions on FTP's winsock.  I "upgraded" to PCTCP 2.3 (from
  2.2 - retaining the same ini file(s) and winsock 1.1) and have lost the use
  of Winchat.  I now get the famous gethostbyname0 error.

  If ANYONE has tips/hints on ANY of the above, I would grately appreciate the
  info.

  Thanks.

David

   Here's a question I'm hoping someone out there may be able to answer. I'm
   using Trumpet Winsock and Xwin. To get Xwin to display on my PC, I
   use the command: setenv DISPLAY my.ip.address:0 . When I dial up
   for SLIP access, the IP address is dynamically allocated to me,
   with the fourth number changing from one session to the next. Is
   there any way I can set up a session and have the correct IP
   address automatically placed into my setenv command (or any other
   -display parameter for that matter)?

Colin,

I'm have the same setup here at school.  I have the following script
in ~/bin/getdisp on my machine at campus:

******************* cut here **********************

#!/bin/csh
set disp = `last | grep <your_username> | head -1 | awk '{ print $3 }' `
echo $disp:r":0"

******************* cut here **********************

You may have to fudge with the fields and such to get this to work
on a different machine (I'm on a DECStation).

When I startup XWin on my PC at home I use this command:

 xterm -display `/<your_home_directory>/bin/getdisp` &
