"SUN" .au files are 8 bit, 8000 hz, u-law files.

>From the documentation of sox:

       .au       SUN Microsystems AU files.  There are apparently
                 many types of .au files; DEC  has  invented  its
                 own  with  a  different  magic  number  and word
                 order.  The .au handler can read these files but
                 will  not write them.  Some .au files have valid
                 AU headers and some  do  not.   The  latter  are
                 probably  original  SUN  u-law  8000 hz samples.
                 These can be dealt with  using  the  .ul  format
                 (see below).

       .ub, .sb, .uw, .sw, .ul
                 These are several  suffices  which  serve  as  a
                 shorthand  for  raw  files with a given size and
                 style.  Thus, ub, sb, uw, sw, and ul  correspond
                 to  "unsigned  byte",  "signed  byte", "unsigned
                 word", "signed word", and  "ulaw"  (byte).   The
                 sample  rate  defaults to 8000 hz if not explic-
                 itly set, and the number of channels (as always)
                 defaults  to 1.  There are lots of Sparc samples
                 floating around in u-law format with  no  header
                 and fixed at a sample rate of 8000 hz.  (Certain
                 sound management software cheerfully ignores the
                 headers.)   Similarly,  most Mac sound files are
                 in unsigned byte format with a  sample  rate  of
                 11025 or 22050 hz.

     I am trying to find out the dotted IP address of the machine to which a
socket is connected.  My program listens for connection attempts and accepts
them, so I don't know the remote machine's address to begin with.  I can
call 'getpeername' and have it fill a sockaddr structure, but I don't know
where to go from there.  The sockaddr data structure consists of a family
field and a 14 byte address array according to the winsock header file.  I
have tried calling 'inet_ntoa' with the address array to no avail.
     Any ideas?

I think the data you are looking for is available from the datagram
received. If you are  getting datagrams from a TCP/IP connection then the
header of each datagram will contain all kinds of usefull information. For a
format try "Internetworking with TCP/IP Vol 1", Douglas Comer, 1991, pp. 92.

   Reading?  What's that?

I said that because that's what's happened to several people I know... they
forgot to fill in the name server info, and got can't resolve messages when
using full.address.names.

I just launch TCP Manager first anyway, so the SLIP line's alive before
any of the clients.

   Note that the client connects the <second> time.  No, the problem is that
   the call to resolve the name is returning before the line comes up, and
   its coming back "no answer".

Hmm... there's a script command called online to turn on the SLIP line
before the dialer script is finished, so I do this at the end:

online
sleep 2 (to give it time to wake up just in case)
exec wnqvtwsk

   This is true for at least Trumpet and WinQVT.  I learned quickly to tell it
   to connect (opening it does the trick).  On the other hand, you have to
   click "CONNECT" on the Chameleon stuff.  Big deal.  If you get knocked off
   you click the box again.  No effect on your sessions as long as a keepalive
   doesn't nail you.  In fact, if you do lose the line it'll come up and ask
   if you want to reconnect.

   Not me.

Is the Chameleon WinSock any faster?  Or is it just a matter of stability?
