The Communications cookbook has several errors which are not entirely typographic in nature -- these include descriptions of the responses to various commands, including 'netstat' and 'ping'. The RT Diagnostic diskettes for AIX 2.2.1 DO contain baseband adapter tests -- however, it required a service call from a CE (and another 3 days) before I had working copies of THOSE! The entire support structure at IBM seems intended to frustrate the poor programmer -- despite the fact that there are a few well-informed people, whose work is invaluable. But IBM's corporate policy in re Software support is awful. -- {apple, pacbell, hplabs, ucbvax}!well!gors gors@well.sf.ca.us (Doolan) | (Meyer) | (Sierchio) | (Stewart)
