- A friend of mine tried a similar configuration. His autoexec.nos of the
- pc connected to the phone (the routing machine) looks like this:
-
- # ============= NOSview [301]
- # /autoexec.nos
- # =============
- hostname *****
- #This is the IP of you gateway machine. The IP is only
- #used beteween your local gateway and the slipserver of
- #your provider. I suppose, that an entry in the routing table
- #must exist ...
- ip address <x.x.x.x>
- domain suffix ****
-
- # slipdriver (cslipper)
- attach packet 0x60 sl0 16 300
- # ethernet packet driver
- attach packet 0x63 en0 5 1500
-
- # Memory
- watch on
- watchdog on
- memory thresh 8192
- memory efficient yes
- memory ibufsize 1600
- memory nibufs 30
-
- # TCP/IP
- ip rtimer 60
- ip ttl 50
- tcp mss 1450
- tcp window 3000
-
- # the following IP is the address of the slipSERVER
- # (your service provider)
- route add default sl0 p.p.p.p
- # On your local ethernet you use any ip, which
- # your provider reserverd for you. If you have more then
- # one machine at home, you need more ip's
- route add l.l.l.l en0
- -----------------------------------------
- # this is a sample client-configuration (this machine is
- # connected via ethernet to your local slip gate)
- # hostname ******
- # ip same as above ...
- # ip address l.l.l.l
- # attach packet 0x63 en0 5 1500
- # routing to your own gate ...
- # route add default en0 x.x.x.x
- # if you have a domainname server ...
- # domain add d.d.d.d
- # tcp mss 1438
- # tcp window 3000
-
- BTW: we tested it with a class c-net. All addresses are placed in the
- same segment.

-
- The most glaring omission I've seen in Telnet clients relative to MUD use is
- support for XON/XOFF output controll. That's been the reason I continue to do
- all my MUD calling through my mainframe VAX account - the VAX's telnet
- implements the Ctrl-S (XOFF) to pause output and Ctrl-Q (XON) to restart it.
- Ever try to actually READ all the stuff flying by your screen sometimes in a
- really busy room?
-
- Also, the VAX telnet seems to automatically XOFF the output as soon as I start
- typing, and then XON it again after I hit CR. Even worse than trying to read
- in a busy room, try to =type= when every 4 or 5 characters you type gets
- interrupted by a stream of everybody else's chatter! I've never yet seen a PC
- telnet client that didn't have this problem.
