I know sunsite is supposed to have stuff, but I can never get in there, or
it's really slow.

Anyone here plan on setting up a WWW site for WINSOCK stuff?

Subject: Telnet Using Kermit protocol

I am looking for a Telnet application for Windows (free- or shareware) which
has the capability of using the Kermit protocol.
Several EPA BBS have been connected to Internet but can only be accessed via
Telnet. In order to download variuos executable files I need a Telnet
(Winsock-version) with Kermit protocol facilities.

Anyone any suggestions?

Subject: VB3 with Winsock question

I am writing an application in Visual Basic using Bryan Syme's VBWSK.VBX
custom control.  Is it possible to have my program recognize other instances
of the same program running on the same domain (in this case upenn.edu)?  I
am using port #2001 (from my favorite sci-fi movie :-) ).

If this is not possible using VBWSK.VBX, is it possible with Winsock at all?

Subject: SMC8013EPCs, pc/nfs5.0, winsock question

Hi,

I've configured some SMC Elites that are recognised as WD8013EPCs in some 486s
here running PC/NFS5.0 accessing the SMCs using the SMC8000.DOS NDIS drivers.
I've noticed bursty performance on telnet sessions (pc/nfs's and jsb's
multiview desktop) - a third of the screen fills, delay, another third, etc.
I suspect that the problem is somewhere between winsock and pc/nfs and/or the
network drivers.

(Incidentally, this occurs when connecting to different hosts but certainly
a sparcstation elc running sunos4.1.2)

Has anyone experienced this and, if so,  what parameters did they tune and
where ?

Much thanks in advance,

Subject: Trumpet news: unsolved problem, limited newsgroups



I have seen this problem referred to in this group several times.  No matter what I do, Trumpet news
cannot (see) all the available newsgroups on the news server.  I have deleted newsrc and started over
as someone suggested still, only about 3100 of the 5200 groups on the server are available for subscription
Manually entering a group such as "rec.pets.dogs" causes it to search a loooong time, finally finding no
articles.  Why can't it find groups that winvn can?


Thanks in advance.

Yes, SO_KEEPALIVE socket level option works fine.  We are using it
successfully on a DOS Client and UNIX Servers and DOS Servers.  The moment
connection is closed the servers are getting notified correctly and the
system behaves fine.  I donot really know how often this option keeps
sending hard-beats saying the connection is still valid.  We have used this
in both blocking sockets and Async socket calls, and tried with couple of
TCP/IP stacks.  It works just fine.

This is exactly how I got ODI/NDIS3 to work, if anyone else is having

as described above. Must be a bug.

I am having the same problem to a tee.

I just read another posting that indicated that there is a problem with
the method that the install program writes the bindings line in the protocol
.ini file. you simply need to change it to be the name of your mlid from
the odi setup stuff. If you need more info let me know and I'll email the
post to you.
