There are a couple of questions I have about it for use in a tertiary institution. 1) What are the copyright arrangements? Free to radio amateurs and educational institutions. All others must contact Phil Karn (karn@ka9q.bellcore.com). 2) What utilities are available? (Telnet, FTP etc) {Telnet,FTP,SMTP,Finger} {Server,Client}. 3) What is the minimum PC configuration necessary ? It will run in 512K, maybe a little less. 4) Does it support the MICOM INTERLAN NI5210 ethernet boards? Only if you get the ni5210 packet driver. 5) Where can I get it? (Particularly if available in Australia) The alpha release version of NOS is available from flash.bellcore.com: /pub/ka9q/src.arc. NOS has never been officially released. NET, which is fairly out of date by this time, is available from the same place. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 Violence never solves problems, it just changes them into more subtle problems
