We have more than one NFS file server each with multiple user
partitions providing disk space for our PC users. We run Hesiod here.
I would like to compile hesinfo and use it as a means to find a given
users file space. Somehow I want to use hesinfo to feed parameters to
the idmnt command. Anyone want to compile it up for me? I don't have
the PC/TCP development package. I will provide the source to hesinfo.

Is there a way to do this with conventional PC/TCP?

I have made mods to pcnfsd so that it authenticates against Kerberos.
If anyone is interested I will mail it to you.

Some people here use Novell and PC-NFS. We use a Crynwr packet driver,
IPXPD.COM (IPX linked with PD interface) and PKTD.SYS (to interface PC-NFS to
the packet driver). Works fine.

We have been happily using NCSA Telnet and WATTCP stacks on the 3C503
packet driver 10.5.1 for many months.  Sometimes, we use PKTMUX to run
the stacks concurrently.  Some of our users want to use the NFS parts of
PC-NFS, and the telnet and ftp parts of CUTCP and a local homegrown TCP/IP
application built on WATTCP concurrently. So, we installed PKTD.SYS from
omnigate.clarkson.edu.  Our config.sys now looks like this:

	c:\nfs\pcnfs.sys
	c:\nfs\sockdrv.sys
	c:\nfs\pktd.sys

Our autoexec.bat like this:

	c:\drivers3\3c503 0x60 5 0x300 1
	set path=c:\nfs;....
	set nfsdrive=c
	prt *
	nfsrun

On booting, we get:
	
	Sun Microsystems PC-NFS Network File System
	Version 3.5
	Serial #....

	Sun Microsystem PC-NFS Packet Driver Interface
	Version 3.0.2
	Copyright 1989...
	This driver may be freely copied....

	Packet Driver for 3-Com 3C503 Version 10.5.1

	PRT *

	NFSRUN
	NET START RDR triton *
	[PC-NFS is Installed]
	NFS000F: PC-NFS is disabled (cant start network; check configuration)

Now, PC-NFS works fine with the regular PC-NFS device driver (VECIE6 and
NFSVEC), and this same packet driver normally works fine with NCSA telnet,
WATTCP, PC/TCP...

Does anyone know if I have a mismatch between the PKTD.SYS, the rest of
PC-NFS or the 3C503 packet driver?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm...

I don't know >exactly< what Beame has done with the latest release of his
code (V3.0), but printing from DOS machines is roughly 5-10x as fast as it
used to be!  The only obvious change is that you can now write print files with
the "normal" NFS block size (it used to be restricted to 512 bytes/block).

I still haven't had the time to test out all the windows stuff, but from
what I can see so far this version certainly looks like a winner!

More info as I get the time to check it all out...

Well.. I wouldn't go as far as to say "Vile" operating system. of
course that is merely a matter of opinion.

Right now I am writing this from CUTCP running underneath OS/2
using a SLIP connection. I've had much less problems running
this combination than I did when I ran Cutcp under desqview.

OS/2 runs most DOS and Windows software fairly flawlessly.

If you are looking for OS/2 specific TCPIP software then as far
as PD software goes, there is a buggy early release version of
KA9Q for OS/2 that is around. I wouldn't reccomend running
that unless you reallywant to be able to FTP HPFS filenames.

There is a TCPIP package available from IBM. It supports FTP,
Telnet Sessions, and a number of the other usual goodies that
take full advantage of OS/2's abilities. They also have some
other packages that can be added to this like Xwindows, networking
and some other stuff.

if you want more information on the latter, send me mail and i will
send you a copy of the file that describes this its approx 40k

	Yes. I revised things and sent my material to Russ Nelson for the
formal release. He made a couple of changes but the basics remained the same.
You can tell my version by the lack of a transmit buffer size for the command
line. It worked here the last time I really used it (back in Nov 1991 and
briefly a few months ago). As you noted in a previous message, one does need 
SLIP running on the other end of the wire (DELL's Unix does a nice job of
sensing this when asked politely), and I too had not been able to get my
copy of NCSA Telnet to accept SLIP (CUTCP worked ok). The new release of
Kermit, v3.12, supports SLIP via this Packet Driver.
	I think the version .6 is really 10.6 with a small goof somewhere.

Greetings everyone:

I am trying to get David systems network adapter cards to properly work with

CUTCP, etc.

I have NO troubles with SMC cards.  But when I try it with the DS cards, I
can connect to novell but can't get the ODIPKT to be recognized as regular
ethernet; instead, all programs think I am runninga class 11 driver.

BTW, how odes the netdev.sys and custom.exe work together?  How does one
configure custom.exe, and please keep in mind that I have tried it both
with and without netdev.sys.

Please send configuration information and/or advice to my email address.
No need to post back to the list.

Thanks in advance and Regards-

Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1992 01:29:49 GMT



I had not been following the thread on PKTMUX as closely as
I should have, so I may be going over old ground here, but so
be it:

I have obtained PKTMUX11.EXE and have tried to get it working
to support Beame & Whiteside BWNFS / BWTCP and WINQVT.

I have Version 2.7 WINQVT and 2.2 BWNFS (just received 2.3; haven't
tested it yet).

The sequence of events is as follows:

I load my packet driver; everything is fine.
I load pktmux using 2 channels; everything is fine.
I load pktdrv twice, everything is fine.
I load WINPKT for the WINQVT stuff; everything is fine.

At this poing, PKTSTATS looks good: it shows two free "drivers".

I load my B&W software, and it works. PKTSTATS reports that the
first of the two drivers is in use, as you would expect.

I start windows (Version 3.1).  NFS is still working.  I start a DOS window,
and run PKTSTATS again.  Everything still OK - one channel in use.

I start WINQVT and start a telnet.  It works.  Check the DOS window:
PKTSTATS now reports both channels in use.  Good.

Start up a B&W telnet: it works!  Things are looking up...
PKTSTATS still shows good stuff.

Try to use a network drive: system hangs with an hourglass cursor
(still movable).

As it turns out, it doesn't matter if I start the B&W telnet session or not.
Essentially, I can't seem to use B&W NFS and WINQVT simultaneously.

Why do I want to do this?  Essentially, I am not overly fond of having
to run B&W telnet from within Windows due to the fact that it is not
a Windows application.  WINQVT appears faster and is easier to use, plus
it has some nice features like autostart of telnet.

Does anyone have any insight into why this doesn't work?  I've tried
various interrupt values (and had some problems with certain numbers, I
might add!).  Any/All help appreciated...

Incidently, I have tried the /c option for pktmux, no change.

I am running a PC with an IBM Token Ring board and am in need of some advice/
options regarding packet drivers.  I have been running IPXPKT with success 
for a while now, but I'd like to experiment with other mechanisms.  
Particularly, I am eager to use ODIPKT.  Here's the problem.....

ODIPKT loads itself nicely on top of my TOKEN.COM driver and reports itself 
as a Class 3 packet driver (Token Ring Framing)  The only problem is that 
all my TCP applications (NCSA Telnet, Trumpet, WATTCP, Gopher. etc.) will 
only talk to a Class 1 packet driver (eg. Ethernet).  Is there any way to 
make ODIPKT, running over a Token Ring board look like Ethernet....a shim 
of some kind?

IBMTOKEN.COM is not an option for me because I have no need nor desire to 
load IBM's LAN support program which it requires.

Thank you!!!!

run the application with rloginvt, the user input areas become

We've been experimenting with setting the ftp_attr=* fields.
The 2nd field indicates what COLOR combination to use for the
