My Suns (Sun4 , SunOS 4.1.1) serve themselves fine but neither the IBM RTs (running AOS) nor the R/6000 (running AIX) work as clients. Using the RTs as servers; everybody is happy. Except me, since I don't have service contracts on those and they are being phased out. Any message (including: "We do that and haven't had a problem. You messed up Dave.") would be welcome. (I apologize if this appears more than once. I am having some news problems) -- -dave fetrow- fetrow@biostat.washington.edu (internet) "The most difficult issues in building large networks today are level 8 & 9 of the protocol stack: politics and religion." -Mark Verber (verber@pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu)
