I colleague of mine has a DN3500 connected to a Chromotography system
that he purchased as a turnkey system from a company called PHI systems.

All that aside, the system is installed with Aegis 9.7.5, and SYS5 Domain/IX,
not BSD4.2.

He's got ethernet connections, and wants to do simple telnet and ftp to
some other systems, but SYS5 doesn't appear to have things like telnet,
telnetd, or other things. The release tape for TCP_BSD rev 3.1 has a minimal
amount of stuff, not including telnet and telnetd, or inetd.

How do SYS5 people operate with a network and TCP, or do they? My Stardent
computer is a SYS5 system, but it's got all of the TCP stuff needed.

Is there a TCP product for SYS5 Domain/IX? I know, our favorite company
probably wouldn't ship me anything anyway, but scr## them anyway.

What can I do, short of installing BSD4.2 on his system? I'd also prefer
not to use the Aegis kludge of TCP, I've finally cured myself of that mistake.

Thanks,
Scott Ferguson
