MEMORANDUM
  
  TO:     John Salis, Sid Schwartz
  
  FROM:   Keith Corbett
  
  DATE:   October 3, 1986
  
  SUBJ:   Bendix TCP/IP Setup
  
  COPY:   Paul Mazzarella, Jonathan Pierce
  
  
  Dr. Burne (Bendix Aerospace) would like to connect their new system to the
  old one via TCP/IP.  They are currently running with separate site files on
  the two systems, and only one Ethernet tap.  This setup was requested by Dr.
  Burne on our last visit; apparently his needs have changed.
  
  Given the problems with site files at Bendix in the past, I don't think we
  can accomplish what they want with support over the telephone.  Here are the
  steps I recommend:
  
  1. We need a printout of the site files on the new system.  They are in
  "RELEASE-3.BENDIX.SITE;".  I recommend that Jonathan visit Dr. Burne and
  
     a) hook up their HP laser to the new system temporarily
     b) hardcopy-file the following site files:
	  - HOSTS.TEXT
	  - SITE.LISP
	  - LMLOCS.LISP
	  - SYS.TRANSLATIONS
  
  We also need to know:
  
    a) Whether they want to keep separate site files on the two systems,
    or make the new system the system host for both 2.0 and 3.0 Lisp
    sources, etc.  I recommend keeping separate system hosts; it could be
    more reliable, and won't require reloading sources on both machines.
    
    b) What host names they want to use.  This is important: if their
    code has explicit host-name references to "lama" and "lamb", we don't
    want to break anything.
  
  Paul may have other questions which Jonathan can discuss with Dr. Burne.
  
  2. Paul will take the printouts and mark the changes we recommend.
  
  3. Jonathan should go back on-site to complete the software modifications:
  
     a) Modify the site files on both the new and old system so that
	they agree
     b) Verify that the two systems can talk
     c) Make new bands from vanilla software on the old system, and save
	a new band on the new system
  
  We will of course be available to Jonathan to assist him with any problems.
  
  I am requesting that Sales intervene in this process because Bendix does not
  have anyone on-site with adequate training or knowledge to manage the
  system, and because Dr.  Burne has changed his mind several times about what
  he wants.  We don't want to go through any more iterations like this.
  Jonathan is in a better position to manage this account in person.  This is
  an opportunity for him to work with the customer and teach someone there how
  to handle site files.
