- Subject: New driver for EtherSE
-
- I just got a new ethertalk driver for the Etherport SE V2.0. It seems
- to have fixed the bug with Telnet hanging. I have had a session logged
- in most of the afternoon and it continues to work.

- The Etherport SE and EtherSC drivers version 2.0 help a lot. Kinetics
- technical support can probably send you upgrades, that's where I got
- mine. We are doing more testing to be sure. Tim K. ]

- Subject: questions about wd8003e
-
-
- I have a couple of questions about using the wd8003 card w/ NCSA
- Telnet 2.2 on a PC-AT. 1st, I couldn't figure out what/how to apply
- the required? hardware shared memory segment address (in the
- config.tel distribution it's set to d000). The card's own doc didn't
- seem to cover this; there does seem to be a form of wd8003 card that
- has onboard RAM, but that doesn't appear to be the case with mine.
- Can someone shed some lite on this?
-
- 2nd, I tried various combinations of the "high speed hardware
- settings" (mtu, maxseg, rwin) on connections to machines on the local
- net (VAXes, Suns, HP's, a Mac via NCSA, &c). The best performance for
- ftp file transfers seems to be at the default (3c501-ish) settings!
- This performance is not significantly different from that of similar
- machines using 3c501's. We know the PC-AT machinery is capable of
- more, since we've had Excelan cards (& Excelan's software) running
- twice as fast at file transfers. If anyone has some ideas on this
- or knows of other things I should try I'd appreciate hearing about them.
-
- Thanks,

- It helps to know the exact file transfer speeds. We do see double the
- speed from Suns at rwin=4096 with the WD board (25KB vs 50KB). The hard
- disk speed does limit you at some point (50-80KB).
- As for the shared memory address, the WD8003E board allows you to set
- the value in software, but it must be set to a legal value which does
- not conflict with any other boards in your machine. If it works at
- d000, leave it there. Tim K.]

- Brad,
- I feature I would like in NCSA_Telnet is to be able to use Alt+E
- when in the server screen. I see no reason why I should have to login
- to a remote host so that I can do a Dos shell.

- Subject: Communications servers/Novell
-
- I have a couple questions about hooking up a communication server to my
- Novell ethernet cable and connecting through it to a minicomputer. I have
- the following setup:
-
-
- thinwire ethernet
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- | | |
- ------ ------------- -----------------
- | PC | | Novell | | Communication | Bridge CS210
- ------ |File Server | | Server | TCP/IP
- NI5210 board -------------- -----------------
- NP600A board | | | | | | <-- Async lines
- -----------------
- | Minicomputer |
- -----------------
- Questions:
-
- 1. I need software to run on my PC that:
- A. Allows me to connect to the minicomputer and then
- return to the Novell menu system. Using NCSA Telnet
- software, once it is loaded I cannot go back to
- Novell without rebooting. Am I using Telnet wrong
- or is their other software that I should be using.
- B. Allows me to define the terminal I want to emulate
- during my connection to the minicomputer. Telnet
- only emulates a VT100 and I need to emulate the
- Lear Siegler ADM31 or ADM12 crts.
- 2. I have a package that emulates the Lear Siegler terminals.
- Is there any TCPIP package that will allow me to connect
- and then run my emulation software?
-
- Any comments or helpful hints would be appreciated.
-
- Please respond to me directly. I have requested my name be added to this
- list but have not been as of today. I will summarize and report back to this
- list.

- Currently, NCSA Telnet is not compatible with Novell, but some special
- versions can make it work. The packet-driver version from Clarkson can
- make it work with a special version of Novell software. Tim K.
