	I am having a problem running CUTCP/CUTE and WinQvt on 
a Dell 486/50.  Specifically, the machine randomly runs very slow
or hangs completely during active sessions.  I have experienced this
problem with both a 3C503 and an AT&T Starlan card using Crynwr packet
drivers.  I have ruled out the cable and the hub, and currently suspect
the machine itself.  The same configuration runs fine on slower machines.
Are there specific parameters that should be changed for faster machines?

	Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jean

I've not heard of these app's working over PCTCP; it is within the realm of
possibility however that some enterprising soul has written a shim that
converts the UMD calls to the UMD TCP stack into PCTCP NetAPI calls.

Quarterdeck is now selling their "DESQview/X to other systems" (read TCP/IP)

for a free copy of Novell's Lan Workplace for DOS.  However, as far as I

please forgive me for asking what is probably a very basic question,
but I've got no idea what I'm doing here.. (I'm not completely
clueless, but it's been a long time since I've worked with DOS).

Someone here has an IBM PC with an Asante ethernet board. She wants to
put it on the Internet. What do I need to do? Apparantly, there's no
ready-made software with her ethernet card, nothing like telnet or ftp
clients.

I assume I need a driver. Should there be a software driver with the
card? Where do I get clients once I have the driver installed?

I've pulled the PC/IP software down from the net, but I was surprised
to find only source code, no binaries. Does everyone build their own
versions of the software? Unfortunately we don't have a handy copy of
Microsoft C here (except an old version of Quick C, which I assume is
insufficient).

Hoping that it's easier than it looks,

I disagree that Trumpet is "rough around the edges".  Sure its not rn or 
other Unix style newsreaders but once you get over the breakin period it is 
very easy to use and fully functional.  And I don't think you will find any 
Unix style readers that run under DOS.

I emailed a response to Deepak, but there seem to be a few folks who
need to see it too.  The response from S. Trier is consistent with our
experience.  We solved it by getting PKTMUX11 (wuarchive.wustl.edu, 
128.252.135.4 -- I've got the number just about memorized now) in 
mirrors/msdos/pktdrvr.  This allows more than one TCP/IP package to be 
running simultaneously under separate Windows/ Desqview windows; it 
was also designed for a TSR tn3270 program the author uses.

Version 1.2 is rumored to be out, with somewhat better handling of 
NCSA's habit of leaving the packet driver stubs busy on exit.  I got 
around this problem with batch files.

a network of MicroVax and DECstations running TCP/IP protocols.
I'm looking for an ethernet card for the PC.  Anyone have any
recommendations as to which card?  Do I need any software/driver
to do this?  If so where can I get it? (do the software/driver
come with the card?)
  Also, I really need to run DeskViex/X.  Is there any other

Please help!!!  I havn't got a clue :(

Minor terminology quibble:

X.25 is able to open multiple circuits down the same bit of cable that
may support a protocol per circuit. If you want to run multiple protocols
over the *same circuit* then you start having to do things like put SNAP
encapsulations at the start of the data (or some other form on unique
id field), i.e. add more "protocol" data.

Not many generic IP/X.25 encapsulators support this (if any). Most use
the Call User Data == 0xCC method and assume that all the data on that
circuit will be encapsulated IP.

We have an old Seimens MRI scanner based on a Dec VAX 750 that we want
to put on an ethernet running TCP/IP to Suns and so on. I am not
a DEC person so I have no idea where to go to get the cheapest
solution. I presume that DEC sells an expensive Ethernet card and
software to do TCP/IP, and ftp and so on (we need it to run under
VMS, and not the latest version of VMS by any means), but I also
presume that there are cheaper hardware solutions and probably an
alternative (if not free) software solution.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

You probably should have Open Connect come and give you a hand.  This is
a good gateway product but their documentation is terrible.  We've had

  Regrettably, HP appears to be more focused on how little they can
give you and still claim it is UNIX.  For example, they don't supply
traceroute(8) -- fortunately there are a number of people on the net
who have that and are willing to share.  LOTS of other pieces and
parts that are included with every other flavour of UNIX are just not
supplied with HPUX.  It's a pity the software is so deficient, because
the hardware is nice.

	I'll post what I mailed.  /etc/nettl can give you a trace of most
everything happening in HP-UX's world of comms (e.g. every packet through
its ether interface).  /etc/netfmt will filter and format this for you.
I don't know if it lets you put the ether into promiscuous mode.  This works.

Hello again!

I've sent this question one time before with less details.

I will try to describe it better this time.

As I said, we are 7 students who is working for a company called HITEC (
Norwegian company). We are going to make a program in C++. This program will 
read the packets form an ethernet. Our workstation, an HP 9000/700 (using 
UNIX of course), will communicate over an ethernet using TCP/IP.

Our problem is that we need C-routines that fetch packets from the network. 
We will make C-routines that count all the packets and make other statistics 
as well. The result will be printed on screen and printer.

I hope this will make things more clear.

Thanks for all help so far.
