Re: Connecting to OWG 7.2.2 for UNIX from ROM 2.10

I don't think there are any ports which offer both olsoctcp and oltlitcp connectivity -- one or the other, but not both. Solaris provides oltlitcp; HP-UX provides olsoctcp; other machines provide one or the other. Even if they did, you would have to use two different service names in the fourth column, because the combination of machine name and service name must be unique (because TCP/IP uses the combination of protocol (tcp), host number (from machine name) and port number (from service name) to identify the program to talk to, so you cannot have two different listeners using the same port number. I have two network aliases for one of my OnLine systems, so I also have two different service names: anubis_47 ontlitcp anubis anubis_47 anubis_47_tli ontlitcp anubis turbo2 Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <witticism.h> >Date: Fri, 01 Aug 1997 12:10:22 -0400 >From: "Michael L.
