We have been having some really *weird* problems with NCSA Telnet
2.5 connecting to a Silicon Graphics workstation.  They went away
for a couple of months but now they seem to be coming back...

1. THE PHYSICAL NETWORK IS ABSOLUTELY OK:

   --Ethernet packet analyzer finds few bad packets/collisions
   --AppleTalk/AppleShare work perfectly over the same Ethernet

2. BOTH MACHINES INVOLVED HAVE *GOOD* IP CONNECTIONS:

   --The SGI can ping the Macs involved just fine, even at high
     speed

   --The Macs involved can use Network Time to get correct time
     of day information from the SGI even when the problem is
     happening

   --Email between the SGI and the rest of the universe works
     just fine

   --When certain Macs cannot log in to the SGI, other Macs in
     our lab can log in without problems using NCSA Telnet

   --Those Macs which cannot log in to the SGI workstation
     can login without problems to every other host we have
     tried, even hosts that are thousands of miles away

   --Finger queries from the Macs involved (using finger 1.3.5
     by Peter Lewis, a Macintosh finger utility) work OK

3.  THE PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO VERSION 2.5 OF NCSA TELNET:

   --we have tried other versions; same symptoms!

So, I have listed all the things which *are* ok; what's the
problem?  At unpredictable times certain Macs have difficulty
logging-in to the SGI workstation, even when others work ok.
Severity ranges from very slooooow response to failure to
connect at all.  Sometimes, when a connection attempt fails,
I *can* start an ftp session; then after the ftp session has
been established suddenly telnet logins work.  Once an interactive
login is working, I close the ftp session and the interactive
session continues OK.  This leads me to suspect the glitch has
something to do with Telnet protocol negotiation.

I am cross-posting this to comp.sys.sgi.admin, comp.sys.sgi.misc,
and comp.sys.mac.comm because I have no idea whether this is a
MAC problem, an SGI problem, or some complex interaction.

I AM AT MY WITS' END; I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF.

HELP HELP H E L P.

I have got a Mac connected to ARCnet network with Standard Microsystems
Corporation's SMC ARCNET NB250 Network Controller Board.
I would like to use it for internetting with MacTCP. Unfortunately the 
board came equipped only with an MacARC AppleTalk ARCNet driver i.e. it 
enables only AppleTalk connections. But, as you know, in case of AppleTalk 
connection MacTCP packs all the TCP/IP packets into AppleTalk ones and 
nobody knows to unpack them again.

So I probably need another driver for the ARCNet card which lets
the MacTCP think it is on Ethernet.
Does anybody know are there such ones available for this board?
I have talked to some local dealers of SMC, they do not know anything 
about the matter.
Or perhaps some other solutions might help?

Hi Hermes BBS users

	A few months ago someone posted messages in this group saying how
he got ripped off after he send money (to support "keyware" as the author 
names it) but don't get anything back - details not shown here.
	Does anyone know is it safe to send money in (this may seem a stupid
question!) so that I can get the rego number in order to use the BBS software?
I am impressed with the way the BBS software works. However I don't want to 
send in the $75 the author asks for but don't get any number back!

	Please let me know wether it is safe to send money in or to look for
other BBS software somewhere else.

	Please email only.

Yeah, and I guess I'm supposed to have half a dozen copies of MacTCP sitting  
around so that when I want to switch from Eudora to Versaterm, I drag one out  
of my system folder, replace it with another, and reboot.

Whoever thought up this licensing scheme should get a life.

I evaluated WorldLink for the Mac just after Xmas.  I found that it was a
pretty nice package....nothing to write home about, but it got the job
done.

It!s Mac interface was nice, and it!s speed was reasonably good. 
Essentially you do all your work offline.... creating messages, setting
up file download requests, etc...

Then you sign on, it handles any incoming/outgoing messages and then it
disconnects.  It!s definately not as nice as having your own link, but
it!s a nice alternative to having absolutely nothing.

 leave mail.  I wouldn't want to use UUCP for internet mail or

While I don't have a FAQ to give you, you might be interested in the
book "Planning and Managing an AppleTalk Network" that Apple produces
(via Addison Wesley, like everything else they do :-).

This book will provide you with a lot of the types of information that
AppleTalk product vendors assume that you must inately know by being
an "AppleTalk Network Manager" (like what a DDP-IP gateway is, for
example. :-) 

You should be able to find this book at any B. Daltons or Software Etc...
I don't know about other bookstores.  You can also order it from APDA if
you have the inclination.
