I have been playing extensivly with PC/IP and I am thinking of developing
some software using the libraries that come with it. I have several questions
that I thought some people might be able to answer:

	1. It doesn't seem to be able to resolve host names and domain
	names. I have a Sun Sparcstation 1+ running SunOS 4.1 acting
	as a name server.

	2. Lpr thinks it sent the file to the print server, but nothing
	gets printed.

	3. About 50% of the time when using rexec, I get the following
	message:

		Foreign host is trying to establish a connection with us
		as we are to it. Perhaps you should quit.

	It then proceeds to reset the TCP connection and restart. Every
	thing works, even when this message is printed. Other programs
	that use TCP don't exhibit this behavior.

	4. I noticed that the programs and libraries are all built using the
	small memory model. I need to use the large model. Has anyone tried
	to convert it over to the large model. Any hints or pointers would
	be very helpful.

	5. Are there any other bugs that I should know about?

When using FTP's PC/TCP on the same PC and network, all of the above
functions work fine. This leads to believe that the network/Sun is all
setup correctly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
