I asked for permission and subsequently placed the required drivers
on 129.97.50.50 in pub/wattcp/gateway.  These drivers appear to work
with Clarkson TCP, WATTCP, and most others which do standard TCP
applications.

But they do not handle promiscuous mode, so they fail miserably on the 
Beholder, Gobbler and other software from those cool dudes at Delft U.

Another option is to "hold-your-hourses" for a bit and wait for a public
release of PC-Pine.  Well worth the wait in my opinion.  As for the
quality of the package, what can I say?  It's Pine .... == very nice.

If you do any subnetting your in trouble with BOOTP as well. You can't do 
BOOTP over Cisco's (RARP doesn't either) because the client on the other 
side of it will get the hardware address of the cisco instead of it's own.

There is a port of the Unix client for PCs developed at Qualcomm.  It
requires that FTP Software's TCP/IP kernal be loaded in order to run, however,
so unless you own PC/TCP you're out of luck.  It can be found in the following
location via anonymous ftp:

PC (DOS)
--------
Client:      pcph  1.0b4
Site:        uxc.cso.uiuc.edu
Directory:   net/ph/pc
Filename(s): pcph.com
             pcph.README

Pcph allows you to login and edit records in interactive mode.  If you just want
a client that allows you to query various servers, there's one incorporated
into PC Gopher II and also in NUPop.  You can find PC Gopher II at:
boombox.micro.umn.edu in the pub/gopher/PC_client directory.  NUPop is a pop
mail client that can be retrieved from casbah.acns.nwu.edu (I forget the
directory name).

That's about all I know of for DOS.

Subject: DIS_PKT9 with DEC Pathworks
Date: 21 Dec 92 17:14:10 GMT
Organization: GEC Plessey Semiconductors

I'm trying to run the dis_pkt9 (packet driver-over-ndis) shim with my DEC 
Etherworks LC card.

I have successfully used the driver with NCSA Telnet etc, but I cannot get 
the DEC Pathworks (PCSA) software to work alongside it.

If I delete the "[PKTDRV]" entry in the protocol.ini file and reboot, then 
Pathworks works fine i.e. I can have one or the other or both.

I am guessing that the packet driver program is grabbing the ethernet 
packets, and then chucking them away without giving the Pathworks 
application a chance to accept them. This is only a guess though - I don't 
know for certain what's happening.

The ndis driver and protocol manager are both as supplied by DEC.

The protocol.ini file is as below:


; PROTOCOL.INI file.

[PROTOCOL MANAGER]
    DriverName = PROTMAN$  ; protman.sys
    Priority   = DATALINK  ; doesn't seem to have any effect !


[PKTDRV]
    DriverName = PKTDRV$
    Bindings   = depca
    Intvec     = 0x60


[DATALINK]
    Drivername   = DLL$MAC ; dllndis.exe
    Bindings     = depca   
    Lg_Buffers   = 64
    Sm_Buffers   = 12
    Outstanding  = 128

    ;Specify IRQ level used by workstations network adapter
    ;NI_IRQ       = 5

Although I didn't use FTP's PC/TCP, I did have an opportunity to
try bootp on a CS-500 running some 9.1-beta-something code.  I
was able to get bootp responses both when using the fixed address
(slip default) as well as when I requested a specific IP address
in the dialing script.  I don't think the beta code has anything
to do with it, I assume the production code works also.

The only hint that I can offer is to make sure that your IP
address in the request packet (i.e. ciaddr) is 0.0.0.0.  If
you already have an IP address, the cisco appears to assume
that you already know your real IP address and simply forwards
it out the ethernet for other bootp servers to process (this
behavior was confirmed by the syslogs on several other machines).
If you have a default IP address in you PC/TCP configuration
other than 0.0.0.0 you would mostly likely see this problem.

I don't know what is/was necessary to configure the CS-5xx as
I didn't do any of that work.

The only share-ware implementation of TCP/IP for DOS is the Trumpet suite of 
TCP/IP applications from Peter Tattam (peter@psychnet.psychol.utas.edu.au).  
At least I think that all off his apps. are shareware.  This suite includes 
Trumpet -- it's flagship newsreader, an IRC client, Telnet/FTP/Chat/Whois/
Archie clients.

Other public domain implementation of TCP/IP for DOS that are available from 
free include the NCSA Telnet suite of TCP/IP applications and the CUTCP 
suite of applications.

Also there are several implementations of Ka9Q NOS/NET available from PCs.

Other standalone PC TCP/IP applications that are interesting include 
PC-Gopher and POPmail/PC (Univ. of Minnesota), and NuPOP (Northwestern U.)

All of the applications described above user Crynwr style packet drivers 
which are available from several sites -- try oak.oakland.edu in the 
directory pub/pc/pktdrvr.

In terms of sites to get these applications ....

Ka9Q NET/NOS				- ftp.ucsd.edu 
NCSA Telnet 				- ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu

Let me correct my earlier statement. I did not test WFTP that comes with FTP
software's newest release. I formally tested 2.05. 

I have played with 2.1, but I find that the Windows telnet performance is 
<9600 baud. By far, FTP's product has been the fastest DOS TCP/IP package I 
have ever used. However, they were very late in producing a true Windows 
implementation and the limited selection of Windows applications shipped. 
The FTP implementation is the biggest memory hog of the bunch. 

I the only formal test that I have done with the newest version for FTP was to
run the eXceed X Window server on FTP's 2.1 and Chameleon 3.04. By far, X under
Chameleon was faster. (Tested on a 20MHZ AT&T 6386E tower box with 8 MB ram,
and a Starlan 10 NAU card.)
