Subject: LambdaMOO on 386bsd

Hi, has anyone got LambaMMOO to work on under 386bsd?

I managed to compile it with the current patchkit + gcc 2.3.3
and the binary executes just fine, but when I telnet localhost 7777
I get "connection refused".

Thanks for your help.

Glen

A friend of mine is running it, and that same problem happened to us...
the problem turned out to be one of byte reversal (thanks to Pavel for
helping us with that one!) .... 7777 is 0001111001100001 in binary.
reverse the high and low order bits and you get 0110000100011110 which turns
out to be 24862 in decimal.  telnet to localhost 24862 and you should get
connected.  Since we didn't want that as a port for our 386Bsd MOO, we did
the next logical thing.  We changed the restart file to default to port
24862 as the port that MOO listens too.  Since byte reversal goes both ways,
we can telnet to localhost 7777 now and it works fine.
