Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: Feb. meeting on TCP/IP - DNS, DHCP

Content Type: text/plain

Hi Peter - I've been out of town (surprise,surprise) this week, but will
give you a more detailed response in a few days; I do have my own agenda
for my presentation but will try to work in some of your requests.
Definitely routing is one of the topics, so how DNS works will be covered;
DHCP may or may not be depending on time. I don't have the RFC numbers with
me but will include them with the tentative agenda (which by the way will
be in the newsletter, hopefully). I will be demonstrating one or more
network sniffers that work in OS/2, at least one which includes source.

thanks for the requests
Terry
