Greetings all,

I have just installed CMU TCP/IP. The product installed very easily and
I have Telnet and FTP working fine. I am having some trouble with Smail
though; it mangles the FROM: field into something which looks similar
to the /OWNER field of the UAF record. Is this supposed to happen ?
If so, can I prevent it ?  Also, what is the EXPAND.TXT file for ?
Is it just for mail forwarding a la VMSMAIL.DAT ?

The documentation with the product seems to be aimed at people who are
used to the TEK TCP/IP software, and understand what TCP/IP is all about.
If anyone could tell me about how servers are implemented (i.e. how an
incoming call is directed to the correct server) I would be grateful.

I am also interested in a product called Software Tools Mailer, which is
apparently public domain. Does anyone know where I could get a copy of
this ?

Many thanks (especially to the folks at CMU for providing the results of
their work to all us impoverished academics).

As a footnote, I am grateful for the help given to me re my query about
user written symbionts. I have got a symbiont working for a CALCOMP
plotter (stop-and-wait protocol rather than XON/XOFF) in single threaded
mode. I am still unsure why my AST version access violates, but I don't
have time to investigate it further. If anyone wants a copy let me know.
