Subject: for TCP-IP digest 

I would like to obtain information from anyone who has (or knows of) 
a TCP-IP implementation for RSX11-M, the machine in question 
is an 11/70. Any help gratefully received.

[TCP] TELNET is available on all ISI hosts; FTP is available on the 
VAX and is being worked on for the TOPS-20 by BBN (Charles Lynn). 

A list of TCP-capable hosts is in [ISIF]<internet-notebook>TCP-IP-STATUS.TXT. 

TN runs on the TOPS-20 ("TelNet") and can be used to go from ISIC to 
the VAX. 

Vint 
The file at ISIF is in need of updating - Jon Postel will be pulsing 
the TCP implementers for new info, but you may find the current version 
of some interst.

	MMDF- swd has done some looking into it as well, and thinks 
	it's the way to go.  We've heard from farber and crocker at 
	udel that we will probably be the next csnet site to go online, 
	so we'll be getting the most up-to-date version of MMDF 
	sometime this month (or maybe early December). 

I'm rapidly coming to that conclusion as well, and the sooner I see 
some manuals and some code, the happier I'll be.  I just read RFC754 
and RFC799, and it's becoming apparent that the ARPAnuts are setting 
standards which we'll have to adhere to if we're to talk to them.  And 
the whole uucp addressing mess is getting out of hand -- and that says 
nothing of changing topologies (what do we do with wolfvax's mail when 
they hook in to MCNC instead) or the distinction users here have to 
make between pnet mail and uucp mail.  Add in ARPA, CSnet, and maybe 
Berknet among the duke machines, and you have a royal mess.  I'm 
inclined to start a new net newsgroup to discuss mail, networking, 
addressing, etc., from a UNIX/uucp point of view -- say, net.net 
(fa.tcp-ip appears to be too specialized, though I'll route a copy of 
this to the moderator).

Having a newsgroup to discuss nets is different than discussing mail. 
I propose net.net and net.mail.  I'm not sure net.net is needed - 
does fa.tcp-ip subsume it?  There will probably soon be a net.csnet, too.

Subject:   Networking Discussions in TCP-IP Digest? 

Steve - 
	While the masthead "TCP-IP Digest" is really rather specialized, 
I had intended the Digest as more of a discussion on IMPLEMENTATION 
issues of networking (as opposed to Philosophical discussions as 
get found in HUMAN-NETS).  The troubles with multiple networks, and 
the variety of message formats (for mail), and routing problems in 
general are all fair game for the TCP-IP digest.  You are welcome 
to have this networking discussion in the TCP digest -- if the volume 
becomes too great I would be willing to clone a new digest later on. 

	BRL polls Duke via UUCP, so messages addressed to ...!duke!bmd70!tcp-ip 
should make it to the digest (no need to go through Berkeley).  Give it 
a try.  Our RMAIL is smart enough to prevent accidental gatewaying;  sorry. 

					Cheers,

Subject: TCP/IP and the CYBERS 
From: Richard Sitnik 

     In a recent message Mike Muuss mentioned that there are 
plans to install a version of TCP-IP on the CYBER.  Also, in 
Issue 6 of the TCP-IP Digest Mike mentioned that Tektronix has 
implemented TCP under NOS. 

     I would like to find out more about plans regarding 
TCP-IP.  In particular, do you know of anyone who is working on a 
NOS/BE version?  I have spoken to Tektronix and their 
implementation will only work with NOS and requires a HYPER 
channel.  They are not aware of any NOS/BE efforts.  I will 
prepare an item for the TCP-IP Digest detailing my discussion 
with Tektronix.
