- Hello, world. I am facing a problem with FTP Software Corp.'s TCP/IP
- package and a client's 486DX/50, and I am seeking the net.wisdom.
- Before I begin a description of the problem, allow me to outline the
- configuration in more detail:
-
- Software:
- FTP Software's TCP/IP pkg v2.15, using ipcust.sys and ifcust.sys
-
- Hardware:
- NIC: SMC (formerly Western Digital) 8003 (16+) Ethernet adapter,
- IRQ. 10 (also tried 2), I/O base addr 340 (also tried 240),
- mem address E0000, on-board ROM disabled.
- Motherboard: SOYO i486DX/50, 64k cache, SIS chipset, ISA bus
- Adapters: STB QuickVGA combo card; includes SuperVGA, IDE controller,
- floppy controller, 2 serial and 1 parallel ports, and PS/2-
- style mouse port.
-
- Basically, everything works fine (eg, ping.exe, finger.exe, tnglass.exe,
- etc) EXCEPT tn.exe (telnet) and rloginvt.exe (rlogin/vt100 protocol).
- These two programs hang the machine; it must be rebooted when these
- programs are invoked. The Clarkson CUTE suite work fine; but because
- of dependencies on other packages FTP Software's TCP/IP package must
- be used instead.
-
- Besides changing the configuration on the ethernet card several times,
- we have tried lowering the bus speed to as low as 7MHz, turning off
- TURBO mode (CPU lowered to 8MHz), and removing ALL TSR's to no avail.
-
- Has anyone experienced this or a similar problem? If so, I would like
- to hear from you. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate
- to make them -- I will be glad to hear from you. Please respond via
- e-mail, however; I don't get the opportunity to read news as often
- as I might like.

- I had a similar problem with a few 386's here at Langley. As it turned out
- the problem was with the TELNET and RLOGIN programs (tn and rloginvt). What
- is happening is that the programs are trying to figure out what type of video
- driver you have, and guessing wrong. In the latest patch level (v2.05 pl5 I
- believe) there is an option for the tn.exe program. "tn -s" in that patch
- selects the standard video mode. I was able to get this program from FTP.
- As far as I know, there is no similar fix for RLOGIN. Check your current
- version of tn.exe by typing "tn -?" to get an options list. See if the
- "-s" option is there and try it. Hope this helps.
-
- Good Luck
