What we're seeing here is a user at a site (UICVM) who is on both BItnet and the Internet. FTP and Telnet will work if you're on the Internet. There is no conflict with being on both - just like you can have a VTAM network and also have an RSCS network, you just 'wear different hats' depending on which side you're talking to. In fact, at least 500 of the 3,043 nodes on Bitnet are also on the Internet. For the uninitiated: FTP is File Transfer Protocol, a way to ship files around (like SENDFILE). Telnet is a remote login scheme (akin to PASSTHRU). Now, back to assembly language - does anybody have favorite 'non-obvious' uses of instructions? I mean stuff like pointing a STOSM and STNSM at each other to mask critical code... Valdis Kletnieks Virginia Tech
