SLIP8250 supports it, _if_ your application supports it.

I'm probably wrong, but I know of no free MS-DOS TCP applications
that do compressed SLIP, so things might work better if you changed
your host to do standard SLIP.

As for running other applications, one trick is the EtherSLIP driver,
which acts like an Ethernet packet driver to your application, but
is really a SLIP driver underneath.  This lets you run most free TCP
programs over SLIP, even if they do not explicitly support SLIP.

I don't have any money so I've never looked for a place to spend it. I
have however, played with an NFS server for dos that was freely available.
The original is called Stans' Own Server (SOS) and the most recent is now
Son Of Stan's Server. Using SOSS I was able to mount my dos box on my unix
box and read/write files.  SOSS is available from Simtel :

PD1:<MSDOS.LAN>SOSS31.ZIP "Son of Stan's Own Server: NFS server for MSDOS"
PD1:<MSDOS.LAN>SOSSREAD.ME "Release notes and extract info for SOSS31.ZIP"

My understanding of the problem of combining Novell w/ PCNFS is that
it requires a 3rd party product to combine the NDIS stacks.  The Spry
Concurrent program is one such package that I use to preform this
task.  It seems to work fairly well but the combination takes up quite
a bit of precious DOS memory.  Even with a good m+??~emory manager
such as QEMM, you are still pushing the limits.  Your best bet is to
trash the whole thing and get a Macintosh (nice flat memory model with

Have a look for soss31.zip: This is a PD NFS server for MS-DOS. It works fine!

Some people say you can use it under Windows, so you can work with the PC also.

Here is one for your list:

		2) Experiences of people who have (currently) installed
		   and running TCP/IP using KA9Q ? 
		3) We can have a list of pitfalls, warnings, bugs found,

		4) Various applications, brands of PCs that people were

		5) How to install KA9Q ? (I know that this question may be

			TCP/IP. The author is NOT to be blamed.). If the

			it is a good place to start.

	I feel that many will agree with me, that most of us would also like to
connect to work or other internet sites from home over serial lines.
Thus it is important to share this "HOWTO" information with one another
through the FAQ. 

	I suggest that the moderator(s) post a final list of questions
that would appear on the first posting, and take a popular vote to 
see where our needs and interests lie.

NOTE: If you have ideas, comments, recommendations or plain discussion

Oops.  This wasn't horribly clear.  The expected answer would be something
along the lines of, "Make sure program X supports packet drivers, and
that you configured it for packet drivers.  Do not configure it to talk

Is there a pd/free/shareware tape backup for DOS to a Unix system (an example
would be a port of gnu-tar with remote tape support to DOS).  I have root
access to two unix machines to install host software if needed (the machines,
a Sun and an IBM RS6000, both have /etc/rmt).

The PC has a thinwire e-net card with a packet driver, and I usually run
QVTNET on it.  I couldn't seem to come up with meaningful keywords for 
archie (do you know how many entries come back if you search for tar ??)

Hi

Can anyone help me with the "receiver" function passed to "access_type"
 programming interface??

This is what my current "receiver" function looks like.

	int receiver(int handle, int flag, int len, char far *buf)
	{
		if (flag == 0)
			{
			count++;
			printf("Count is %d\n");
			buf = (char far *) NULL;
			}
	}

	Where COUNT is a global variable.

What happens is the computer reboots whenever it receives a packet.

I rarely program on DOS machines so the concept of Large memory models,
TSR etc are foreign to me.

Can anybody explain to me what Im doing wrong?  Am I access the actual
registers values by assuming that they are pushed onto the stack in 
that order??

If you can help, please help me by using C for any explaination as my
Assembler is so rusty I was thrown out in my last clean-up.

Thanks in advance...

WINQVTNET is a TCP/IP program for directly connected (or SLIP) PCs running 
windows

WINQVT is a modem based comm program for Windows. 

Both are from hte same company and offer very good VT  emulations.

Hi,

I was hoping to gather information on other TCP/IP software packages for
PCs other than PC/TCP.  We run PC/TCP here and it's OK, but I would like
to get some idea of what is available.

If you could tell me the name of your software, how you feel about it, and
how I can contact the vendor, I would greatly appreciate it.

As for me, I think that PC/TCP is OK.  Still, it's POP3 mail, and NNTP
clients are really, lacking (I can't express this enough).  When you
consider shareware programs like NUpop, POPmail, and Trumpet, it makes
you stop and wonder.  QVTnet is another example.  

The reason we don't go with the aforementioned programs is that we would
like to be gaurenteed some type of support.

Your information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Subject: Wish to interconnect two PCs via LAN - questions!
Date: 17 Nov 92 17:23:00 GMT
Distribution: world
Organization: The Internet

Hello again to all you PCIP readers.

A few weeks ago I asked whether anyone knew of a freely available MS-DOS
NFS server package.  Many people suggested the SOSS package at
hilbert.wharton.upenn.edu.

Thank you to all those folks who responded.

However, I have since learned that I didn't really ask the question that
I need to get answered :-(.  So once again I am appealing to the
collective wisdom of the Net for the answers to a few more questions.

First, some background.  I have 2 PC clones at home.  One is a
1988-vintage 286/16 (AT clone) with a 40M HD.  The other is a multimedia
486/33 with a Sound Blaster Pro card, a CD-ROM drive, a 105M HD, & Win
3.1.  I have purchased two SMC (formerly Western Digital) 8003EP
Ethernet cards and thin-net cabling, terminators, etc.  I have installed
the cards and gotten them to send diagnostic messages to one another.


1.  The first thing I wish to do is enable hard-drive sharing between
systems.  What would be the best way to do this using freely available
software?  My original concept was to use the older machine as a
dedicated NFS server, but that is pointless unless an NFS client is
available (which I have heard is NOT the case).  Ideally I would like to
have both machines be able to access each other's hard drives, but I
doubt that I could do that under MS-DOS (even 5.0).

2.  Which freely available networking packages should I use?  I have
heard about PC/IP, CUTCP, NCSA, KA9Q, and a host of applications, but I
do not know which one would be best.  Any responses would be
appreciated.

3.  What other networking applications would be cool, froody, and hoopy
to experiment/play with?  I anticipate I will mess around with most of
the standard TCP/IP apps (FTP, Telnet, the r-series, etc), but I will
always be interested in doing other cool things on my "house LAN."



Once again, please E-mail your responses to me and I will summarize and
post.  Thanks in advance!

We are testing a Sun 3270 gateway to our IBM Mainframe.  The way I was
told that it works is that you FIRST log into the SUN and THEN you
run the terminal emulator.  I am new to TCP/IP services but I think that
if would preferably work like this:
Connect to the TN3270 demon on a known port which requires NO LOGIN and
automagically connects you to the terminal emulation software, AND OF
course logs you out if you exit the TE.  Does this make sense?  Anyone
know how to make it work?

The central mail relay at my site is the same machine as the

and this seems to be possible. I also downloaded SLIPDIAL, but I'm wondering about
a faster way to connect to a slip server. In fact, SLIPDIAL runs SLIP8250 then I
have to run PKTINT, then WINDOWS and finally QVTNET. 
Is there a way to connect to the server WITHIN windows before running QVTNET (of course,
having already SLIP8250 loaded) ?
Please, answer to usenet (maybe other people need this information).
Thanks.
Mauro
