Sun/Symbolics Ethernet I/F
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 89 15:50:18 EST
From: spike@starbase.mitre.org (Ben Bloom)
I have a requirement to pass ascii strings over Ethernet between a
Unix process and a Symbolics process. Could someone do me the
tremendous favor of mailing code &/or instructions to open this 2-way
I/O stream? Free duckpin lessons to the first kind soul.
Thanks,

I have recently been working on the same or a similar problem. we have two
symbolics machines and one silicon graphics. the idea was to have one
symblx act as a message switcher between the others. there are two special
things i learned in this
1. the unix system will allow the CLIENT functions to invoke any port,
BUT will allow only SERVER port numbers above 1024. unless,
of course, you are logged in as the root.
2. as described in sec 35.3.3 NFILE Charater Set Translation ,
Networks, Vol 9, page 255ff, symbolics does not really run in
ascii. so if your connection is always ascii<->symbolics, then set
D,#TD1Ps T[Begin using 006 escapes](1 0 (NIL 0) (NIL :BOLD NIL) "CPTFONTCB"):ascii-translation t
(2 0 (NIL 0) (NIL NIL NIL) "CPTFONT") in the 1define-server2 function. if you don't do that, then look for
1-115 decimal2 as the newline character as it appears on the unix
side, 1and add it to the end of the lines you send.
2the service entries in the symbolics namespace(s) fields are
service, medium, (local) protocol
1 CALLIN2 TCP MY-MESS-PASS2
ZING TCP ZINGER
2 and in the unix ~/services file(s) are
1CALLIN2 1251/TCP
2 1ZING 1252/TCP
2the following is hacked down from the message passing prototype. the switching
service is callin2. one of the functions is to invoke a service on either of
the client machines. this is called zing. the switcher is a symbolics and the
clients are the other symbolics and the silicon graphics. the conversations are
two way and involve windows. if you want the rest
of the deathless code, or if there is a1 2question, just drop a line.

1This is the code from the unix machine. The first is from the client code,
which runs in the foreground; the second is from the server code, which runs in
the background2.1 this is built on the code in (4 0 (NIL 0) (NIL :BOLD-ITALIC NIL) "CPTFONTBI")An Introduction to BERKELY UNIX1,
Paul Wang, Wadsdworth Publishing Company, 1988, chapter 10. this is a fairly
decent basic treatment. the port numbers problem, though, was brought to the
slug bb by John Parker (parker@stony-brook.scrc.symbolics.com) 22-JUL-88.
