- I am having trouble getting Clarkson's TN3270 to work with a 3COM503
- Ethernet card and hope someone can help.
-
- The pc is a 286 system using Phoenix bios. There is about 1200k of RAM
- and there is a coprocessor installed. I believe it is running DOS 3.3
- though I'm not sure. It's definitely not 5.0. The system also has
- PC-TOOLS installed.
-
- What happens is that whenever I try to execute TN3270 the system either
- reboots or completely locks up. And sometimes on reboot it will say that
- there is some problem with the bios and there is no time set and the time
- will be 00:00 though this will correct itself after the next warm boot.
-
- I've checked things out and I've got the interrupt vector (0x66), the io
- address (0x300) and the interrupt number (3) set the same for the packet
- driver and inside the CONFIG.TEL file. I've tried setting the packet
- driver for both thicknet and thinnet cables to no avail. And I've tried
- telling TN3270 that the hardware is 3C503 and packet without good luck.
-
- I've been able to get Clarkson's TCP/IP to work successfully on my work
- PS-2/60 and several Zenith 386's and never seen this problem. Is it
- possible that I've stumbled on some sort of address conflict?
-
- I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
