We received our COM-ETH package prior to the release of Domain/IX (ie. at SR8) and used it to talk to hosts (non-Apollo hosts) on our local ethernet. When Domain/IX arrived we then had a choice between using the BSD 4.2 implementation of telnet and ftp or the AEGIS implementation (which we were already running). We stuck with the AEGIS version because it was, by then, supporting subnets and our local ethernet was being integrated into the MIT campus network. My understanding is that SR10 will included the BSD 4.3 tcp/ip utilities and servers, and that they will support subnetting, name servers, and other good things which help you run in an Internet environment. From what I can tell from the sales literature and pricing info, it looks like tcp/ip will be bundled with SR10, even as things like GMR become unbundled from the OS. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter@athena.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
