I think you'll find that all nntp servers will add in a Date: header if
none is present - perhaps that's a better fix, as it doesn't require a

  I'm reasonably sure that this is a FAQ but since I browsed through all the

Hi,

I am currently volounteering at an organization in which I was asked
to try to connect a PC to an internet service, so that the
organization could have ftp access (and possibly telnet access).

We have PC/TCP version 2.05 and manuals, however I am having some
difficulty getting it to work properly.  If anyone with experience
with PC/TCP can help me out, I'd appreciate it.  I've outlined below
what I need to do.

Thanks,
Damir
--------------------------------------------------------------------
What needs to be done:

- our PC is supposed to be set up with ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.y
- we are supposed to connected via modem (using Slip I guess) to
  a host at the other end with ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.z, I need
  to set up this host with this address.
- access to internet should only be on demand, i.e. I need to 
  set up a simple way for the modem to dial and ftp (possibly
  telnet) access would be available.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am rather novice in this area.
 
Are POP2 and POP3 completely different products, or is there some
compatibility involved.
I use POPMAIL from boombox, this came with a POP2 server.
This server I installed on a SUN an now I can do E-mail from my PC.
Works great.
After that I installed WINQVT on my PC. This program has a mail facility
too. But when I invoke it the complaint is: "Missing POP3 server".
Question: If I install a POP3 server, will both products work, or
do I have to use POP2 for POPMAIL and POP3 for WINQVT?

Subject: Trumpet in Windows with PC/TCP 2.11 (from FTP Software)
Date: 14 Dec 92 23:48:18 GMT
Organization: NCR Engineering and Manufacturing Atlanta -- Atlanta, GA

I have version 2.11 of FTP Software's PC/TCP software which is supposed
to be more Windows friendly than previous versions, and for the most part
seems to be too.

In Windows I'm able to open a DOS window and run tnvt, ftp, finger, etc
(and can run wtnvt and wftp from Windows) to connect to an NNTP server.

If I run Trumpet, with the shim to make it work with FTP Software's software,
outside of Windows everything works fine.  If I run Trumpet from a DOS 
window the PC will either lockup or pause for a long time just after the
shim is loaded (and if it just pauses, when Trumpet does come up it doesn't
work).

Any idea why Trumpet with the shim still doesn't work with FTP Software's
software even when their software is supposed to be happier in Windows with
version 2.11?

Actually, ODINSUP does the inverse of what was asked for...  but then,
as long as both interfaces are available to protocol stacks, this 
frustrating and unfortunate need is met.

Latest version of said driver can be obtained via anonymous FTP to 
ftp.novell.com in ~/novlib/novfiles/dosup6.zip.

PC/TCP 2.1 supportan "use-old-configuration" (or something similar)
in it's pctcp.ini file.  This allows you use the old 'ifconfig.sys'

I tried both MS LanMan client 1.X and 2.X with our HPUX server running

I'v seen similar efects. As a matter of fact these intermittent operation
(non working is the default for me) is verry confusing trying to find a
viable way to get WfWG to use TCP/IP: Once you succeed after a given
modification, you are tempeted to hope, that you've made it and the last
modification was the essential one, but ... :-(

I'm still interested to get WfWG working with LM/X over TCP/IP.

Which version of TCP/IP do you have?  Is it from LAN Manager 2.1a (or 2.2)?
If not, then you definitely need to get the latest version of DOS TCP from us.
Also, is there any way that you can upgrade your Unix server to LM/Unix 2.1?

How did you install MS TCP/IP?  Did you use the instructions from the WFW
Resource Kit?  Did you make sure to include the V86ModeLanas=<TCP LANA #>
in System.ini (under [386Enh])?  You also need to add TimerCriticalSection=5000,UniqueDosPSP=TRUE, and PSPIncrement=2 under the same heading in System.ini.

Let me know if you've done the above, and are still having problems.  If
so, send me some mail with your phone number, and I'll give you a call.

This may be a result of needing to tune the above parameters, etc.  TCP
should handle a slow server and/or slow links.

Unfortunately, QEMM in Stealth mode is not supported with WFW.  I don't know
if a later version will help or not.
