Date: Wed, 17 Apr 1991 16:43:45 GMT ultrix 4.1 doesn't deal with hosts that have two addresses in the right way. an example should suffice. poe is a 3100 running ultrix 4.1, leebai is a sun running sunos 4.1. telnet csc.ti.com Trying... telnet: connect to address 128.247.159.141: Network is unreachable Trying 192.94.94.1...

Fix: buy Suns :-) or get a better ftp client; I suspect that the recent Berkeley client would do the right thing. -- Msen Edward Vielmetti /|--- moderator, comp.archives emv@msen.com "With all of the attention and publicity focused on gigabit networks, not much notice has been given to small and largely unfunded research efforts which are studying innovative approaches for dealing with technical issues within the constraints of economic science."
