Some ideas:
  o What is TCP/IP?
    (Every month or so, someone posts under the belief that TCP/IP is either
    a single-vendor suite, or that it offers the same services as NetWare,
    Vines, LanMan, etc.  A one-paragraph description of TCP/IP would help
    avoid this.)
  o I have a network.  How do I connect it to the Internet?
    (A reference to an answer elsewhere is probably sufficient here.)
  o What is a packet driver?  NDIS driver?  ODI driver?
  o Is there a way to redirect my serial port to a TCP connection?
  o Is there a way to redirect my printer to a remote printer?  Using lpd?
  o Where can I get an lpd server?
  o Where can I get an NFS client?
  o Where can I get an NFS server?
  o Why are there no free NFS clients?
  o What NNTP news readers are available for MS-DOS?  For Windows?
  o How can outside users run software on my computer under MS-DOS?
    Under Windows?
  o I'm running a telnet program but I can't telnet to my computer, even
    if I turn on my FTP server.  What's wrong?
  o I can't get packet drivers and program X to coexist.  What's wrong?
  o I want source to {Telnet, FTP, TCP, Finger, ...}.  Where can I get it?
  o Where can I get an MS-DOS implementation of the BSD Unix sockets
    interface?
  o How do I get specifications for TCP/IP and related protocols?
  o How do I get specifications for packet drivers, NDIS, and ODI?

I'd also suggest splitting the TCP/IP questions into free and commercial,
since many questions are looking specifically for one category or the other.

Would it be worth having a list of names, addresses, phone numbers, and
e-mail addresses for vendors?  That would answer the perpetual question,
"How do I contact the authors of WinQVT/net?", as well as the less-frequent
questions about "How do I contact vendor XXX?".

A pc/tcp (2.4) user at our facility is getting bogus terminal emulation from
any of our SGI's which have been upgraded to os version 4.05. Terminal
emulation  on machines with older revs of the SGI os, ie 3.3.2, remains
fully functional. Any ideas?

Subject: PPP Packet Driver for PC/TCP?

Organization: The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4

I was wondering if anyone knows of a Packet Driver for the PPP protocol.  I
need it to work the ETHDRV kernel of PC/TCP for DOS v2.01.  I was told that
FTP software has released PPP support in version 2.1, but I was hoping that
something was available that will work with my version.

Also, I am looking for a way to automatically configure the IP address of
my PC when using a SLFP (Serial Line Framing Protocol) packet driver.  I
have been told about RARP, but I am not aware of any RARP packages that
work with PC/TCP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry Bob, but ODI, NDIS and Packet Drvers all provide this sort of
functionality though they do it in different ways.

Bandwagon may be a valid term to describe the number of companies who support 
NDIS, but certainly not the number of customers who use it.  

Anyways, there is a free NDIS over ODI solution so your NDIS applications
can co-exist on the same drivers.

Hi,
I would like to run qvtnet under SLIP. I read several messages about this argument
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.

 The good old two TCP's over one shim problem :-).i.e...

 I'm running TCP stack A over shim X. It works; I can also run TCP stack B
 over the same shim.  As soon as I try to run both together nothing works.
 Why?

 Where is the NDIS driver suite, the ODI suite?  Where is protman.dos?
 Where is odipkt.com?

 Pointers to shareware; wqnvt, trumpet, gopher et. al. would be useful.

top 10 reason's why a TCP stack doesn't work...check your card, check your
network connection, check your IP addr, check your router, etc...

Coming at the problem from another angle, you might use SOSS to allow
your Unix systems to mount your PC hard disk(s), then use tar on the
Unix side to backup the PCs.  That's what we do, in any case.  You can
find a version of SOSS for the packet drivers in

Does anyone know of a ibm3151/3161 emulator for either IBM's TCP/IP for 
DOS or FTP's PCTCP?
I have a turn-key application that I need to get running on an RS6000 that
is having problems with telnet/vt220.  The application bypasses the normal 
input routines and reads the keyboard directly - it only recognizes TERM=
ibm3151, ibm3161, vt100 and vt220 and is internally coded to interact with 
these terminals.
 
The application expects an F10 key at one point ('\Ej\r' if you are on a 
3151, '\E[21~' on a vt220).  If the application is run from the system 
console (an ibm3151) or I set TERM=ibm3161 and send the '\Ej\r', it works.  
If TERM=vt220, no valid vt100, vt220 or ibm3151 escape sequence will work.  
 
I hold out little hope that the turn-key (should that be tur-key?) vendor 
will get this code running properly in any reasonable time period.  I'd like 
to try telnet with a 3151 term type as a work-around.

As I said in the abovereferenced article, I have used the he-- out of NDIS
with combinations of DECnet, TCP/IP and LAT terminal services... No hangs.
It just Works. I suspect that the claim that ODI is "more reliable" is
based on the fact that "nobody" but Novell uses it. Has your vendor
actually tried to run heavy traffic over an ODI-based Ethernet connection
with two or more different protocols at the same time? It is theoretically
possible...

Ok I am sure that someone out there has been able to make it work...

So what am I doing wrong. I have a 386/AT with a Microcom QX/4232hs

Cna someone send me a config that works?  I can tip to the modem
and talk to my host ok but it seems that when I try any network
stuff it acts like the modem is not there (no blinken lites).


thanks.

I'll put in my penny's worth to help get the FAQ started...

We are looking at buying a whole buch of the new 3c509 cards.  For some
time now we've being using the 3c503 cards and lately I have started to
test nuPOP amd NCSA telnet via the 3c503 packet-driver and so far it's
ok.  Are there any packet drivers available for the 509?

Also, is it possible to use the NDIS method and the packet-driver (not
at the same time) so I could switch between say nuPOP and a commercial
package like Chameleon (which I'm about to evaluate - just been told
it's arrived) without changing the msdos config.sys & autoexec.bat files
and rebooting?

HI,

I have been using QVTNET along with PATHWORKS for a while now, and everthing 
works fine. 

I login into a ULTRIX machine from my PC to do some programming.  When
I need to print something I usually ftp the fileto my PC and print
it out to the printers connected to the network via PATHWORKS.  

Is there  a way to print a file directly (when logged into the ULTRIX 
machine) to the printer on the PATWORKS network ???

thanks,

sanjay joshi.

You need either a packet driver that does the compression so that
that the application only sees normal SLIP packets (I don't think
this exists) or you need applications that do the CSLIP compression
themselves (not very common).

SLIP8250 does not support this.
