- Having planned to implement a Winsock based server that was
- to communicate with a Unix box using the BSD socket interface
- I now find that the Unix box is to use a Transport Layer
- Interface (TLI) instead.
-
- Does anybody know if there is a MS-Windows based library or
- support routines (or anything) that can enable the Windows
- applications that I have already written to use TLI.
-
- If not, is there any other way that I could proceed, like
- some kind of protocol conversion in software or hardware.
-
- Thanks in anticipation

- Subject: winsock and win 3.11 network abilities
-
- Hi, if this question is answered in a FAQ please send me in that direction.
-
- Here goes. I am running winsock through a slip connection with the unix
- machines on campus. So far, this has worked perfect. I was wondering if it
- is possible to get win3.11 to work with winsock directly. I.E. are there any
- network drivers that come with 3.11 that will work with winsock over a slip
- connection?
-
- I guess what I am trying to say, is I want to be able to mimic a network
- through the winsock slip connection in the sense that I can use programs, such
- as Hearts or Mail which comes with windows 3.11, over the slip connection.
- I guess I need something that converts network commands to winsock calls /
- sockets?
-
- Can't FPS5.0 be used with winsock, should I just load those drivers.
- Thanks for anyhelp, EMAIL is always welcome.

- I have a minor pick about Win QVT for Winsock v 3.97 (got it from
- /systems/ibmpc/win3/uploads on wuarchive.wustl.edu). I have QVT in my
- startup group in Windows. In the prior versions up to 3.96, the console window
- would stay minimized and I would only get my default telnet session window. I
- just installed 3.97, and for some reason the console will start out minimized,
- but after the telnet window appears, the console will feel left out of the
- fun and appear on the screen also.
-
- I know, I know. It's minor. If anyone knows how to force it minimized, I would
- appreciate the advice.

- In article <CMD2xL.AJ2@news.ess.harris.com> you write:
- >I'm still looking for a Winsock based TAR. I've heard of
- >GNU Tar - is this PC/Winsock based? Where can it be found?
-
-
- Tar is not Winsock based. As far as I know there is no version
- of tar that has anything to do with sockets anywhere - DOS, Unix, Windows,
- OS/2 - anywhere.
-
- Just cause it's originally Unix doesn't mean it needs sockets!
