I am using Qvtnet v3.94 I have created a modest QVTHOST.RC file containing 7
entries, my problem is that once in 'Terminal' none of the entries are
visible, it's as if the program does not know that the file exists.  I set
the working directory to C:\QVTNET  which is where the file QVTHOST.RC is, I
also tried setting the DOS environment variable to point to it (SET
QVTHOST_DIR=C:\QVTNET)  anyone know what I've missed.  I am using the
WinSocket version of the program.

thanks!

Subject: problems with wintalk v1.0

Whenever I run wintalk, if the person I am trying to reach doesn't respond or
an attempt at a connection fails, my system hangs and I have to reboot.
I am using trumpet winsock v 1.0 Rev A, and I also load wintalk after I load
some other app so I don't get the GPF.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Anand

     Eric, you asked how Mike was getting 3.5 K a sec from his PPP/Slip

   You are using Cac or OTC's terminal server.  They are terribly slow.  I have
   gotten %30 percent better speeds from other ppp servers than PSU's.

Yeah, well, they're slow because they're busy.

There is a product called Turbocom which replaces the windows serial
drivers with a ones that will use a 16550 uart much more effectively,
this shold boost performance significantly for slip/ppp session at above
9k6.

Bio-Engineering Research Labs

Ashland, OR 97520

Sales & support 503-482-2744
fax             503-482-2633

cost $47.50 + $5 pp.

If you want good serial performance under window it is worth replacing
your 8250 uart with a 16650AFN. If your uart is soldered in then you
will have to buy a board but some older PC the uarts are in plug mounted
so you can simply replace the chip.

Why new machines are not shipped with 16550 as standard beets me.

Cheers, Russell.

Subject: telw, what emulation?  What stty settings?

Hi!  I'm using winsock over a SLIP connection to an RS/6000 running AIX.
Except, that the window opened by telw doesn't seem to run any decent
emulation.  (And the fact that telw came with NO documentation).

What's the emulation?

What's the stty supposed to be?  (Having problems in "vi" with "CR" and "NL"
characters)

Is there anything better?  (Please say yes...)

I'm trying to run multiple telnet sessions to one host from one pc.
When I get the X stuff loaded on the AIX box, I'll just use xterm, but for
now, what gives?
