Subject: PC Telnet and 3Com 3+

Does anyone have experience running NCSA Telnet on a PC that is also
configured with 3Com's 3+ NOS?  Is it possible?  What are the restrictions?


[
I haven't tested this, it will probably require a new low-level driver
for NCSA Telnet.  3Com has convinced me that it can work.

Subject: Improve Alt+N Behavior Please

     I would like to be able to use Alt+N while I have ScrollLock enabled.
Often I am looking at something from one session (which has scrolled off
the screen) and need to type something into another session.  Instead of
simply pressing "Alt+N Alt+N" to switch back and forth, I must press
"ScrollLock Alt+N Alt+N ScrollLock PgUp PgUp", etc.  I think this would
be a great improvement if implemented.

Someone could send me code for turning the keyboard Scroll Lock lights
on and off and help out considerably.

Subject: novell compat binaries

Greetings--
I do  not have a current assembler which will handle the  2.2 (or even
any older) telnet/ftp sources, and I need to get a novell compatible
system up.  I would really appreciate it if anyone has that stuff avail
for anon ftp, if they would let me know so I could get it.  It would make
life a lot easier.
Thanks.

Subject: Looking for lpr, mail, nov3com for 2.2


After seeing me use NCSA telnet for the past few months (??a year??)
lots of folks here are starting to use it and really enjoy it.  Because
use is increasing, I've been tasked to make some improvements: (some
from Tim K's suggestion list) lpr, mail, and support for nov3com under
2.2.
I have an lpr program I wrote for the masscomp which does single files,
and I have the 2.1 nov3com driver source (if only I had the "right"
assembler and compiler...).   If anyone out there could be of any
help (like if you had any of these sitting around :-) ), it would
save me lots of time.
Thanks

released the Mac version of NCSA and is working on enhancements and new features
to Telnet and FTP.  If you would like more information please drop me a line at

Subject: TEK14 Crosshair Mode

     I tried to use the TEK14 crosshair mode (from the S language) on
NCSA_Telnet.  It locked up that session completely, but Alt-X worked.
Is there a correct way to do this?
