The problem is with the protocol.  The LPR clients don't try to interpret
the data, but the server probably kills the job when it sees a binary 0 come
through.  The LPR protocol is not well suited for non-text printing.

Hello.  I am trying to find as many implementations of POP (the Post
Office Protocol) clients for MS/DOS as I can, and thought that this
list might be an appropriate place to ask if anyone knows of any.
I am interested in all implementations, regardless of whether
they are commercial products, shareware, freely-redistributable
or whatever.  I list below all the ones I know of already; if
you know of any that are not on the list, please let me know.

  o PC-NFS LifeLine Mail from Sun Microsystems

  o POPmail/PC from the University of Minnesota

  o PC POP by Bill Schweickert of Sterling Federal Systems

  o A POP-2 client comes with MD/DOS-IP from the University of Maryland

I am not on the PCIP mailing list, so please reply directly to me.
Thanks in advance.

Ray,
	It looks suspicously like you either didn't pass back a buffer pointer
on the first upcall (not interrupt) from the PD (left ES:DI floating). This
is when a packet arrives from the outside world. The specs say to put the
buffer address in ES:DI, and if the packet is to be declined then make both
registers 0. The second upcall will notify your receiver code that the
delivery has been completed.
	Since the PD may upcall your receiver at any time after the program
registers for a packet type the receiver routine has to be ready for such
unexpected events. Don't forget that the upcall is a FAR one so a FAR return
is needed (else things can go haywire).
	Btw, a tiny point is the Packet Drivers are not Public Domain in
the conventional sense. They are copywrited etc, but they are available at
no cost.
        Keep at it. The PD spec is an easy one to use once the light is
seen.

Try (if you haven't already) excluding the region of memory
used by your network interface card in Windows SYSTEM.INI.
It goes in the section, [386Enh], of that file and the command
will take the form:   EMMExclude=d000-dfff
Substitute whatever memory range your card uses, if any.

          Is anyone out there successfully using beholder. I would

          My setup. I configure beholder.ini for my site. I load the

          I can ping the beholder.
          I can see it collecting statistics on the screen.
          I can tftp to it
          I cannot SNMP to it.

          When I first start the beholder I get an error message
          Critical: Cannot Find Configuration File

          What file is it talking about ? What is the beholder.snm

Two approaches that I am aware of:

1.  Use the nb packet driver (rewritten by me) to ship IP packets over
    Artisoft netbios.  This approach requires a dedicated machine (XT
    class will do) to act as a NETbios gateway.  See the info file
    in nstn.ns.ca:/pub/pc-stuff/nb

2.  Replace the Artisoft NETbios with the the NETbios from the PowerLAN
    folks.  The PowerLAN NETbios can run over a packet driver, thereby
    allowing TCP/IP software which runs over packet drivers to co-exist
    with LANtastic.  I have not tried this approach but I am thinking
    of doing so.

Well, I got it going at last.  There was a program, DE200PD.COM in the PCTCP
directory of the diskette that comes with the DE200+ card, that seemed not to
work but thanks to Conor Nolan's advice I kept at it and got it going, using
IRQ 7 (don't ask me why, I'd changed hardware & software to 5 and that should 
have been okay, but it only worked after going to IRQ 7). It works nicely with
NCSA Telnet (etc) now.

Thanks to everyone that replied.

I just got an ACCTON pocket ethernet adaptor to review and the packet
driver released with it doesn't support putting the controller into
promiscuous mode.  All of the other three I've looked at so far (D-Link,
Solectek, and Xircom) handle this just fine.  Does anyone know of
a packet driver for the ACCTON that can do this?

Are there any other pocket ethernet adaptors that I haven't mentioned
that I should take a look at.  I'm looking for one that has a fairly
high transfer rate through the parallel port as well as the ability
to handle at least five or more back-to-back packets.  A good test
for this is to do a "spray -i -c 16 -l 1460 host" from a Sparc2 towards
the PC that has the pocket adaptor.  Try repeating this test over and
over while decrementing the "16" until you see consistent results.
When no packets are being dropped then you'll know how many back-to-back
packets the adaptor can handle.

If anyone has any input or opinions on the different pocket ethernet
adaptors, please reply.

Hello wizards!

After a long period of searching for a NE1000-description without ANY success
(I phoned NOVELL and other manufacturers and distributors) I decided to give
it a try on the news system. What I need in detail is:

Which commands does a "standard" NE1000-compatible ethernet-card (e.g. D-link
model DE-100) understand? 
Programming in machine language, which codes do I have to use to tell
the card which IP-adress it is going to have and which codes tell the card
to read one "packet" of data from the net?
A full table of commands either on machine-level or at the driver-label
(this means one level upwards) would be even more useful....

All of the officials I have spoken to seemed to be worried about a potential
concurrent programmer who could program better software than they did.........

Howdy.

We just got MS TCPIP Utilities for Lan Manager (after only waiting
5 weeks).  Luckily we only ordered one copy so we could check it out first.
Basically, it sucks.  The most important thing is terminal emulation under
OS2 (for us) and it has none that I can find (unless you count 'dumb' as
terminal emulation).

So we're looking for other places to find a telnet/ftp/rcp/rsh that
will work under MS Lan Mananger (2.1 if it matters).  I have heard
about FTP Software's utilities work with MS Lan Manager.  Has anyone
out there set this up?  If so, how good is the terminal emulation?
What do you think of the software overall?

Any info at all appreciated.  Thanks.

          1. Load the packet driver

Nope.  This is something we have been requesting IBM to provide with
LanServer soon.
The technology is available, as Novell Netware 3.11 already does it.
Under novell the IPX packet is enclosed in IP packets to be sent across a
pure IP network.  Novell calls this IPTUNNELing.  It supports both
server to server (peer) tunneling as well as client to server tunelling.
I dont know if they have IP tunneling for OS/2 clients yet.

packet driver for the board.  It isn't being sold in the US markets,
which is why we haven't seen one yet.  If you simply *must* have a
packet driver, I see several options:

 1) Persuade D-Link to write one.  If you've bought a lot of boards
    from them, that's a lot easier than if you're a onesey-twosey customer.
 2) Get the technical documentation from D-Link and write one
    yourself.
 3) Pay a third party to write one for you.
