Wancho") Newsgroups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip Subject: TENEX mode Message-ID: Date: 10 Feb 89 05:13:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 15 (I'd be more in favor of dropping TENEX mode from FTP.) Barry, I hope you were just being flippant, but I saw no smiley there... So, lest someone might take that comment seriously, let's make it clear that TENEX is just an alias for TYPE L 8 (not TYPE L 32, please!). But, if you really are seriously suggesting to drop TYPE L 8, then we have a problem. How else can you send bytes from one machine architecture to another? Certainly TYPE I (image) isn't a universal solution, even between machines of the same word size and operating system! --Frank
