It's not really question of "forget".  The packet driver spec has
absolutely nothing to say about the behavior of the program (except
for a brief description of how FTP's program works, as if that were
sufficient).  While your list is great (*i*, for one, needed it *real
bad*) and i'm sure you put quite a bit of elbow grease into figuring
some of this stuff out, the fact is it cannot be complete.  With no
defined rules, a new packet driver could come up with even more
peculiar behavior that you've never seen before.

From Russ's comments, i gather this deficiency is being addressed in
the 1.10 spec, which will be a welcome improvement.  Until now, from
my point of view, the definition of "correct behavior" for packet
drivers has been "it works with FTP's products".

Anyway, thanks again for the information.  I expect to find many, *many*
bugs in PDEther by using your rules, since i've had neither the time nor
the knowledge to figure any of this out for myself.  That is, i'll find
lots of bugs once i find time to read your list....

I have just started using a product called "Trumpet".  I obtained it by FTP 
from  cscihp.ecst.csuchico.edu  in /pub/warlock  as trumpet.zip.

I'm using it with the Clarkson NCSA and IBMTOKEN drivers.  Works quite 
well - a definite improvement over rn via a 2400 baud terminal connect!

This is not an error, its a warning. It even says so!!!!

The number of questions I get about this is astonishing. Its only a

Maybe the code should be changed to say:

	Dear User, your config.tel file has indicated a packet vector

If you ask, the author will send you the complete source code.  You
would then just need to modify the server (written in C) to use the
MS-DOS LPTx: devices which can then be redirected to the serial ports.
Alternatively, the server could be modified to directly support serial
devices.  A hardware solution would be to use parallel to serial
converters, although this can be expensive.

There are commercial TCP/IP products from FTP Software, Beame &
Whiteside, et al., as well as non-TCP/IP products from Artisoft
(Lantastic) and Novell, et al.  Each of this is typically $80 to $300
for each machine.

A free, resident lpr client for MS-DOS doesn't seem to exist, although
there are free non-resident clients and servers.

The Crynwr packet drivers switch to their own stack.  There are, however, a
number of packet drivers that don't use the Crynwr skeleton.  No guarantees
what they do.

It's safe for many packet drivers, but the 1.10 packet driver spec
(Hi, James!) prohibits it where 1.09 is silent on the subject.
And, as you can see, it confuses trace, more a problem with trace than
anything else.

Has anyone hooked the high-speed port of a Ottawa PI card to a 
CSU/DSU running 56 KB/S?  I just got two PI cards, and lacking yet 
the WA4DSY modems, thought i'd try something else - upgrading an 
existing landline 4-wire circuit (2 miles) now using short-haul 
async modems at 9600 bps, to 56 kbps, using a pair of spare CSU/DSUs 
as line drivers.  The CSU/DSUs are Codex 3500.  They have DB-25 
connectors strap-selectable as RS-232 or V.35, of which the RS232 
appears preferable here (it's unbalanced, where V.35 has some 
balanced pairs.)  Looks like, at first glance, I just need to 
hook up RS232 drivers and receivers to convert the PI card's TTL 
in/out to the CSU/DSU's levels (or bypass something in the CSU/DSU), 
and wire the appropriate ins and outs together.  

Any ideas?  Anyone done this?

I'm not particularly glib when it comes to IBM LAN Server but if I remember
correctly it is derived from MS LAN Manager.  If LAN Server also operates
over a NetBIOS driver you ought to be choose from a number of different 
NetBIOS protocols and install it on your server and clients.  In this case
there is no need for tunneling.  LAN Manager calls this transport protocol
independence.  8-)

I am using WinQVT/net version 2.3 on several Windows 3.1 computers with

you want a full setup let me know.  I just wanted to let everybody know
that WinQVT/net v2.3 can work under Windows 3.1.  

Let me rephrase that a bit.  I am using Norton Desktop Manager for Windows
instead of the usual Windows Program Manager.  Under Windows Program
Manager I could get WinQVT/net to work but the sessions would hang 1 or 2
times a day for no particular reason.  The session would have to be closed
and then reopened.  NOT the program WinQVT/net, just the session.  It seems
to have cleared up when I switched that computer to Norton Desktop.

Greetings:

I just installed LANtastic/AI on 5 386s in our labs. We used to run CUTCP
to connect to the campus main computer, Convex 220, through an XT running
PCRoute(2.22/2.23). In order to run LANtastic and CUTCP concurrently, I
1. install LANtastic's NetBios (AILANBIO.exe) on the 386s and the 
   XT (for the WD8003ep connected to 386s) 
2. install a packet driver for NetBios (NB.com by Micheal Martineau and 
    Russ Nelson version 4)
3. install packet driver for the other WD8003ep on th XT
4. run PCRoute on the XT
5. run LANtastic stuff and CUTCP on the 386s.

Everything seemed fine except ONE. I could not ftp files from the 386s to
the Convex. The problem was the speed, 0.1 Kbytes/sec. On the other hand,
the speed for ftp file from Convex to a 386 was 50 Kbytes/sec.
(Yes, I used -g switch. But that made no difference)

I must have missed something somewhere. The documentation for the NetBios
packet driver, nb.not, has a setup for Ka9q, but not for PCRoute.

Any suggestions/solutions will be greatly appreciated.

Forgive my ignorance, but i've been under the impression that very few
Netbios over TCP/IP implementations could talk across an IP internet.
(I.e., i thought most implementations were B-nodes, and that P-node and
M-node implementations were still rare.)  Admittedly, i haven't been
paying much attention to the issue.  Do most Netbios over TCP/IP
implementations nowadays include P-node support?

We use CUTE/CP over token ring in one of our PS/2 labs.  We also use
NCSA Telnet, but it doesn't do 3270.

Hi networkers,
 I am trying to install PC/TCP(ver 2.05) and I want to use the Pcmail
client/server protocol.The problem I have is that although I am following
all the steps needed to install pcmail to an ULTRIX server when I am trying
to run the client,the message I keep getting is:
...
Phase II (getting changed descriptors)
  Updating "username" descriptors ...Failed changed-descriptor read (error 19
in net_read:End of receive)
...
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
(I am getting a similar message when I am trying to use either POP2 or POP3)
.
And another thing:
I am looking for a program that translates ASCII files into Postscript form.
(and running under MSDOS of course).Does anyone know where I can get one?

						Thanks in advance...
