If you are willing to pay some money and want a little more than
this you should check out DesqView/X.  It might be more than
you need or cost more than you want to pay, even though the
price in September 'might' be acceptable to many of us.

There are a number of commercial vendors that provide such products based on
Novell IPX or Netbios.  They are generally called "Remote Control" and
originally started as serial connections.  They generally support Windows,
mouse pointing, etc.  They do require some tricky technology as has been
pointed out by others, but they do work.

I have set up a PC to connect to a BSD4.3 Vax using NCSA Telnet 2.5.03,
using the command hardware=decnet. I am also running pathworks with
connections to Lat machines via the sethost command.

Now, I would like to add Kermit as an option. I can't use the packet
drivers since they seem to screw up decnet. Is it possible to run kermit
over the NCSA Telnet. The Kermit book talked about using Interrupt 14, is
this related to the NCSA command net14 ??? Any help or explanations would
be greatly appreciated ...

As I pointed out in the DV area, in the TCP/IP world Desqview is competing
with other X-windows products which cost about the same and require the FTP
inc products.  They also don't have the added DesqView multitasking.

If you still think it's too much compare it to an X-terminal.

Note: the above is not a flame, I have the same problem only I have the
additional problem that my low budget users need tektronix 4010(15) 
emulation.  Most of the code seems to be there in NCSA, the screens come
up and display, but you get what looks like debugging code when you try to
use the keyboard or mouse.

The old WATTCP kernel and the ftp client has some bugs which could
cause ftp downloads to fail (but would not affect most other uses). 
These have been fixed, to the best of my knowledge. 
(I fixed a few of them.)  The fixes were incorporated
into the software at Waterloo a couple of months ago.

If you are using WATTCP, you should get a new copy from Waterloo.

Hello Gregory!

I am taking the liberty of writing to you directly in the hope that
you may know an answer to my question.  (I saw your name in one of the
conferences).

I am trying to setup/learn the Serial Line Interface Protocol SLIP of
TCP/IP.  I have a system where slip and nfs can be setup.  Being not
associated with a Univ or Company at present (I spent a lot of my graduate days
there and used to teach full time at UCB in the early 70s --
had an office at Evans Hall, where I see you are located!) I dont
have access to a node with SLIP interface.  Do you know of any nodes
that would allow something like a guest access thru SLIP, here in our
area, preferably local to me here in Sunnyvale?

Thank you for any help you can provide!
   
Cordially, Chacko

There is no reason for NCSA Telnet to strip the 8th bit
(but many to use it, to translate ISO 8859 on the connection to screen PC 850).
Your 3090 (rather its system, you don't say which) should be fixed.
There's no reason to add parity check to a reliable protocol ;-)

Yes, I quite agree, and we already have a copy, but in addition to
the Desqview/X you need Quarterdeck's TCP/IP Manager, AND the FTP
kernel (or soon a TCP/IP kernel from Novell...). This just about
triples the price; we're talking very serious bucks, and we ARE
eventually going to have several systems running DVX, but for our
typical low-budget NCSA Telnet user the economics make no sense.
Also there are much more limited applications than would warrant
shelling out the big bucks. I think Quarterdeck made a serious mistake in
going for the Novell market instead of the TCP/IP world.

FLAME ON:

An aside: All that hype from Microsoft, Lotus, Novell etc. about
e-mail and WANs I think is ridiculous. Why are all these companies
re-inventing what we in the Unix world have had for years? It's the
same logic which  hypes up Windows and keeps MS-DOS alive as
the primary PC OS (on 486's no less ... absurd !). And all this
silly rubbish about Unix systems being "user-unfriendly" or
"needing a guru to run": setting up the memory layout
on a PC these days is far more esoteric than bringing up a
Unix workstation. It reminds me of the absurdities of
JCL (now who on this group knows what THAT is ?)

FLAME OFF.


Phew. Now, does anybody know or have any idea how much Solaris
for the PC will cost ?

    I've read the netbios RFCS (10?? whatever I can't remember the 2 numbers
    for the 2 rfcs), and 883 for domain name representation.
    There is mention of compression, but I can't figure out the the method.

Netbios name encoding works like this: You take the 16-byte binary
Netbios name, and divide it into 32 4-bit 'nibbles'.  You then take a
string of 32 'A's, and add each 'nibble' in turn to the corresponding
'A'.  Append the 'scope' the Netbios was started with, create a
DNS-format packet with a special opcode and send it out over UDP port
137 (instead of 53 as used by regular DNS).  The only thing that
counts as "compression" is that if the same string appears in several
fields in the packet you can replace all but one of them with a
pointer to the single copy of the actual string.
