Sorry if this is a FAQ, but we've just started testing the
windows version, (so we can get underlines) and it's running
at about a snail's pace (about 4800 baud).  

Has anyone else experienced this?

PS:  We're running Release 2.1 of FTP's PC/TCP running under Windows 3.1

   Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get the CUTCP binaries to

There is no packet driver for the PC-NIU that I know of.  The PC-NIC

You can use the ethersl packet driver from the clarkson collection. You need 
pdether, which is a packet driver ethernet driver to ODI shim. I have this 
setup running at home. It works fine.

I am using version 10 of the clarkson collection and v1.02 of pdether.

	Actually, it just occurred to me: how does PKTMUX handle
IP fragments?  As I recollect, an IP fragment does not have any
port information (well, the first one does :-)) so will it be
multiplexed?

	I wonder this because the TCP telnet session above works
and the NFS doesn't (by default BW-NFS will read/write UDP
datagrams of up to 4096 bytes; resulting in IP fragmentation).

	One could test this by setting the /R parameter on the BWNFS
command line to /R:1024 causing inbound data to not be fragmented.
If this works, then that would be the problem ...

Does anyone out there know how, or if it is possible, to deal with incoming
OOB data on a PC client?  I am porting a Unix app that relies on OOB data
to some extent.  I have a feeling it is not possible on a PC, since OOB
data is caught on Unix via a SIG_URG, which I don't have on the PC.
 
I am using FTP's socket lib and Novell's LWP socket lib on my PC client.
Both of these seem to be able to recv() and send() out of band data, but
how can they detect that it is there in the first place without the use of some signal?

Subject: problems with tn (PC/TCP) keyboard remapping
Organization: Warsaw University Physics Dept.
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 1992 14:57:04 GMT

I am using 'tn' program from FTP Software PC/TCP package.  I'd like to
use ALT key as a Meta key for use with Emacs editing.  I've tried to
use a keyboard remapping table, and it almost works.

For example, a line in a remapping table:

4,0x1e,0xe1

correctly translates key 'a' (scan code 0x1e) into Meta-a, i.e. 'a'
(0x61) with high bit set (0x61+0x80=0xe1), and my host computer
receives that 0xe1.

The problem comes when I try to do the same for Meta-Control-a.  An entry
of the form:

6,0x1e,0x81

instead of giving the expected character 0x81 (which is Ctrl-a with
high bit set) for a keypress Ctrl-Alt-a actually sends to the host
computer an escape sequence, namely 'ESC A'.
This happens for all remapping values in the range 0x80-0x9f, I think.

Is there anything that can be done?

Since you imply the've got FTP Software's PC/TCP there are at least
two options.  There is a version of the PD software known as Trumpet
that will work over PC/TCP kernels.  I'm not exactly sure where you
can pick this up.  It's a pretty good news reader that uses NNTP.
There a few problems with it, but it's functional.  If your friend
plans on upgrading to PC/TCP version 2.1 they'll find and nntp client
that works in conjunction with the VMAIL program.

    After spending 14 hours trying to get my PC to connect over
    a modem line using slipdial, the slip8250 packet driver and
    NCSA telnet, my frustration boileth over (possibly because
    I don't know what I am doing?).  I echo the above
    poster's sentiments.  Does anyone know how one might accomplish this?

    I cannot seem to get telnet to recognize that I have loaded
    a packet driver, much less that I apparently have a connection
    with a slip server.

    And I don't care whether you post or respond in e-mail, though
    it appears that at least one other person, and probably many
    would like to know similar things.

The message trafic will be bidirectional.

Questions:
a) Which solution/products should I use on the PC to provide TCP/IP communicatio

c) Are some publ software that can be used for testing, acessible through

Subject: PC to NeXT via PC-NFS or NCSA Telnet?
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 92 22:40:04 GMT
Organization: Netcom Online Communications Service
Distribution: comp

I have a PC with an EtherCard PLUS Elite that I'm trying to hook up to
my NeXTstation.  My goal is to be able to use telnet and ftp between the
two, and send files from the PC to be printed on the NeXT's printer one
way or another.

The EtherCard PLUS Elite comes with a 'SuperDisk' that includes a driver
(WD8003PKDR.EXE) and step-by-step instructions on making it work with
NCSA Telnet (version 2.3 or later?), Wollongong something or other, and
FTP's software.  The EtherCard passed its diagnostics, and NCSA Telnet is
on the PC, though I'm unsure of which comments to 'undo' in the CONFIG.TEL
file.  The coax cable and terminators are installed already.

First of all, should I not mess around with NCSA Telnet and use PC-NFS
instead?  I'd like to use non-commercial software if possible, since this
is basically 'for fun'--I'm using it to make file transfers easier and share
directories in my own house.

On the NeXT side, I'm at a loss.  I'd like to do as few changes as possible,
so I don't risk totally crashing something on there.  What is the next step
to do on the NeXT so that the PC is recognized?  At the moment, when the coax
is plugged in, I get a 'can't find configuration server' error when the 
NeXT boots up, which I ignore for now.

Please, if anyone can offer some detailed instructions on how to proceed with
the above goals in mind, I would be happy to receive e-mail from you.

Thanks,

Eric
