- Would it be possible to make scribe|troff|tex source documentation
- available for ftp rather than Mac Word format or preformatted line
- printer output?

- Telnet Version 2.0 bombs with ID=02 when you attempt to open a
- connection with a hostname which abbreviates one in the
- config.tel file, e.g., specifying "brazos" when "brazos.rice.edu"
- is in config.tel or "titan" when "titan.rice.edu" is in the file.
- Note that specifying "gzorp" (not an abbreviation of a name it
- the file) does NOT crash and gives a reasonable message.
-
- Configuration is:
- "Virgin NCSA Telnet 2.0" obtained approx. 12:30pm 10/8/87
- Finder 5.5
- System 4.3 (I think, but definitely the one distributed with Finder 5.5)
- Mac SE - 1 MB - Internal diskette and SCSI 20MB drive

- Since PC Telnet 2.0 is out, here's something I'm curious about: How (if
- it is possible) can Telnet be 'mangled' to work with TOPS on a PC?
- situation: We have a PC with a TOPS Card on an Appletalk with a
- Kinetics g/w on it. Since the TOPS card uses the same Interrupt as a
- 3Com card, and there very few interrupts available for a 3Com card,
- another advantage would be to the TOPS card and Appletalk drivers.
-
- I know the throughput would be much lower than sticking the PC straight
- on Ethernet, but look at it this way: Our division has 75 Macs to
- about 4 PCs. Most of the PCs have those wonderful Microsoft Mouses,
- which act up with the TOPS card until you switch Interrupts on the
- mouse. But on the one machine where we tried to connect a TOPS card, an
- 3Com card, and a Microsoft Mouse, we had major problems. The mouse
- doesn't like the 3Com card, and vice versa. The PCs seem to work fine
- with TOPs and the mouse, but we usually get problems with ethernet
- cards.
-
- soooo, how hard would it be for the PC version to use Appletalk and use
- the K Box ?
-
- thanks

- I would like to thank all of you for your patience. This is the first time
- I have every run anything of this nature and most certainly on this scale.
- As we are just starting, I have managed to send some duplicate messages and
- to leave our routing alias active to the outside world, thus causing this
- morning's reflection. This will not be a common occurance (I hope), but I
- would like to request that when you submit something to the list, please
- send it to:
- telnet@ncsa.uiuc.edu
- or
- telnet@newton.ncsa.uiuc.edu (if your mailer doesn't like the other)
-
-
- Thanks again for your patience and support.
