Lately someone tried to talk to a uVAX from a Sun and his partner got the message: Address family not supported by protocol family on the uVAX. When we tried it the other way round, that is the talk was initiated by the uVAX all worked well. I think, this may be due to a different byte ordering between Sun and uVAX, which is handled by the Sun, but not by the uVAX. If I'm right and someone has already solved this problem, can you please drop me a mail. Thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieter Woerz Fraunhofer Institut fuer Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation Abt. 453 Holzgartenstrasse 17 D-7000 Stuttgart 1 W-Germany BITNET: ...unido.bitnet!iaoobel.uucp!woerz UUCP: ...seismo!unido!iaoobel!woerz
