	Well, I'd really like to see it happen. My situation is this.
I've got a bunch of modem on a cisco terminal server, any of which can
be used for slip. Now, the SLIP rfc suggests that you use a mtu of
1006, which is what most SLIP client (far end) implementations expect.
Therefore, a large packet coming off the ethernet with a 1500 mtu gets
fraged to traverse the slip link. Now, if I want something like CUTCP
to work on the far end, I need to up the mtu to 1500 so no frags get
generated. Unfortunately, this breaks several other client-end
implementations, FTP Inc's stuff most noteably (they allow you to drop
the mtu, but not up it).  Therefore I'm stuck in a situation where I
am unable to make everyone happy. Having CUTCP and others support
frags would solve this (well, at least solve the SLIP part of
happiness :)

						Jim

P.S. Erick, I didn't realize that this problem existed with WATTCP as
well. I'll have to put fragment reassembly on my to-do list! :)

What you are seeing is the PC-NFS name translation thingy. Most filenames on 
Unix/NFS servers are in lowercase. These translate o.k. to DOS. Not a problem 
here.

Where you have a mixture of case or all uppercase, PC-NFS translates the 
filename. This is because on a Unix server the files 'Autoexec.bat' and 
'autoexec.bat' are different, but on DOS they are the same. So, the PC-NFS 
client is preserving the fact that they are different files, by changing the 
filename of one.

If a server has all of it's files in UPPERCASE, PC-NFS will quite happily 
translate all of the filenames to something pretty much unrecognisable. This is 
the case where you have a FAT partition under OS/2. All of the filenames are 
uppercase in FAT partitions. So, serving a FAT partition to a FAT client creates 
a problem!

NB::	FAT filesystems are NOT case sensitive or case preserving.
	HPFS filesystems are NOT case sensitive, but ARE case preserving.
	Most Unix filesytems ARE case sensitive and case preserving.
(Please, no flames.)

Solutions:

1) Wait for a 'future' release of PC-NFS that will have an option to disable 
name translations on a mount by mount basis. (Don't ask me when.)

2) Change all of the filenames to lowercase. This is only valid if your OS/2 
disk is an HPFS disk.

3) Convince the OS/2 NFS server to convert FAT Filenames to lowercase.


Number 2 will work now, number 3 may or may not be possible, number 1 will have 
to wait untill the code gets written, and that's up to SUN.

I am looking for a simple SLIP dialer.  Preferably one that does not require 
device drivers loaded in CONFIG.SYS.  Any suggestions?

Strangely, I tried to write a dialer using QuickBasic.  When I run the dialer 
without the SLIP driver installed (SLIP8250) it works fine.  But when the 
driver is installed the Basic dialer locks up my PC.

  I can't claim to be an expert here, but the fundamental issue is that
PC-NFS contains an IP protocol stack to do tcp/ip things and LWP4DOS also
contains an IP stack to do  tcp/ip things.  So you sort of have dualing
protocol stacks even if you figure out how to share the card between the
two products.  You can get a NFS module for LWP4DOS from both Novell and
Beame & Whiteside, and then you can choose between PC-NFS and LWP4DOS based
on which product you like better, they should then both do basically the
same kind of things and you will only need one of them.

The orginal zip file contains about 1000 files including other zip files. It tests
OK. The ftp'd zip file contains the proper number of files but usually 10 to 12

The generic NCSA Tek drivers are unnecessarily slow, and don't take
advantage of SVGA or 8514a cards (or even fast line-draw routines). I
tried recompiling telnet to use the native graphics routines in Zortech

Being someone who suffers from this misconception, could you provide
