Intro
This is a version of the MIT/CMU/Harvard/etc suite of
TCP/IP programs for the ibm pc compiled to work with
packet drivers.
NB Both the PC/IP suite of programs and the packet drivers
NB are copyright by their authors. Amongst them: MIT, CMU,
NB Harvard and various other individuals. Both the packet
NB drivers and PC/IP are freely copyable for non-commercial
NB use. See the sources for the full copyright text.
The sources for both PC/IP and the "Packet Drivers" are
available for anonymous ftp from various sites. Check
with your local guru's wich ftp-site or email-server is
nearest to you!
This Distribution
Can only be used with the packet drivers. Get a copy of
the packet driver collection and make sure one works for
your network connection. Install netdev.sys in your CONFIG.SYS.
Use the "custom" program to configure your device-driver.
YOU MUST DO THIS BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO RUN THE PROGRAMS.
At least you must set the IP address if you don't use
BOOTP to get your IP address automagical.
Now, reboot and start your packet driver and the programs
should work. If not, I'm sorry, but you are on your own.
The programs supplied in this archive where compiled with
Ms C 5.1, Ms MASM 5.0 on an Unisys 386 pc.
As allways: all usuall disclaimers apply. This code works
on a lot of machines and a few different packet drivers have
been tested, but nothing should be implied from that!
To Do
The 'NetWatch' program doesn't work with this version of
PC/IP due to lack of promiscous mode in the packet driver.
This doesn't have to be that way, and sometime during 1990
should this be resolved and public available. Supposedly
the hard part is done allready, but the results are not (yet)
available. You migth want to scan the BITNET list PCIP-L or
the relevant NetNews groups. It's bound to be announced there.
The terminal emulaters in this package (PC/IP) leaves much
to be desired, personally I feel you should go for the
NCSA Telnet package (also freely copyable, and it has
FTP possibilities built rigth in). NCSA Telnet has versions
for both the MacIntosh and IBM-PC type computers and are very
nice programs indeed. The PC version can use packet drivers,
so at our site the PC/IP suite of programs supplement this
package. Very easy to use, and powerfull for the expert.
Documentation
Oh, oh.. The only documentation that exists (to best of my
knowledge) is so old and outdated that you should probably
just forget that it exists. See if you can find a friendly
sole to help you out! Friendly people aren't that hard to
find if you try to be friendly soul yourself :-) If you still want
the documentation, locate the sources and the documentation
will be close by. One place is: husc6.harvard.edu with FTP.
God luck!
