- Subjects:
- PC Telnet and PC-NFS from Sun
- Server modes sometimes works, sometimes doesn't with 3C501 board
- 3C503 support
- MultiFinder conflict?
- Time bomb? problem with control panel time?

-
- I have had some problems with runing NCSA Telnet 2.1 when I have PCNFS from
- SUN installed. Do you know if NCSA Telnet 2.2 can run with PCNFS.
-
- Thanks.
- Gardar.

- In most cases, NCSA Telnet can run, work and then quit without conflicting
- with PC-NFS. In effect, NCSA Telnet "borrows" the board and then
- returns it to PC-NFS. They CANNOT both use the board at the same time.
- So, FTPing to a PC-NFS volume will fail.

- Subject: Problem w/ Telnet on 386
-
- We are running Telnet V2.2 on both a AT-compatible and a 386 machine. On the
- 386, if we enter telnet without a session (getting into server mode), the
- server doesn't respond. This problem does not occur on the 286 machine.
- Both machines use 3c501's and I believe the config.tel files are correct.
- The interrupt on the 386 is IRQ3, whereas on the AT it is IRQ5. Could there
- be a conflict, and would this cause this kind of problem? The server works
- fine once a session is started, or if started from ftp.
-
- Any Ideas?

- [
- We finally reproduced and confirmed this problem. It occurs with 3C501
- boards ONLY. They don't get turned on properly when telnet uses server
- mode. It only happens with some boards in some machines, while other,
- apparently identical setups work fine. So, we will have to try to
- jump-start the board in server mode in the next release.
- Anyone else track down this problem and have more to add?

- Subject: Support for 3C503 3com Board
-
- I was wondering if you plan to support the 3c503 board from
- 3com in the near future. Can you tell me the differnce between
- the 3c503 and the 3c501? I also persuing this question with
- 3com.
- Thanks very much.

- Yes, we will try to support it in the next version. The two boards have
- different designs. The 3C503 is more modern with plenty of buffer space
- whereas the 3C501 only holds one packet at a time. They are not compatible,
- but a lot of software exists which supports both kinds. Tim K.

- Subject: multifinder problems
-
- If I use telnet under multifinder, quit telnet, and then open word, word will
- unexpectedly quit. Then when I try to restart, my mac locks up and I have to
- use the reset button.
- Have you seen this before? Is there a way around the problem? This happens
- on both a Mac Plus and a Mac II.

- Which version of NCSA Telnet is running? Anyone else have this type

- Subject: Possible minor bug
-
- NCSA telnet bombs on me whenever I change the time in the control panel.
- I am running it on an SE over Appletalk with system 4.2 and finder 6.0.
- There is 1MB of ram in the machine, and it is running these INITs: Easy
- Access, Interbase, Pyro!, Responder, Softalk, and Tops.
- Sorry if this has already been reported.

- P.S. The ID on the bomb message is 03.
-
- [
- Conflicts with Pyro and Tops have been known to stop NCSA Telnet all
- by themselves. Conflicts between Pyro! (because early versions stopped the
- timer processes), TOPS, Softalk and NCSA Telnet could happen at any time
- because they all have to co-exist when accessing the network. We keep
- our eye out for anything we can do the help the situation, but some
- combinations are incompatible.
-
- You also may have run out of memory.
-
- I cannot reproduce the bug on my machine which doesn't have all of those
- INITs. - Tim K. ]
