Would it be possible to make scribe|troff|tex source documentation
available for ftp rather than Mac Word format or preformatted line
printer output?
Thanks,
Glen Foster

Subject: Bomb ID=02 in Mac Version 2.0

Telnet Version 2.0 bombs with ID=02 when you attempt to open a
connection with a hostname which abbreviates one in the
config.tel file, e.g., specifying "brazos" when "brazos.rice.edu"
is in config.tel or "titan" when "titan.rice.edu" is in the file.
Note that specifying "gzorp" (not an abbreviation of a name it
the file) does NOT crash and gives a reasonable message.
Configuration is:
"Virgin NCSA Telnet 2.0" obtained approx. 12:30pm 10/8/87
Finder 5.5
System 4.3 (I think, but definitely the one distributed with Finder 5.5)
Mac SE - 1 MB - Internal diskette and SCSI 20MB drive

Subject: Telnet on tops on PC
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 87 09:28:30 EDT
From: wicinski@nrl-css.arpa
Since PC Telnet 2.0 is out, here's something I'm curious about: How (if
it is possible) can Telnet be 'mangled' to work with TOPS on a PC?
situation: We have a PC with a TOPS Card on an Appletalk with a
Kinetics g/w on it. Since the TOPS card uses the same Interrupt as a
3Com card, and there very few interrupts available for a 3Com card,
another advantage would be to the TOPS card and Appletalk drivers.
I know the throughput would be much lower than sticking the PC straight
on Ethernet, but look at it this way: Our division has 75 Macs to
about 4 PCs. Most of the PCs have those wonderful Microsoft Mouses,
which act up with the TOPS card until you switch Interrupts on the
mouse. But on the one machine where we tried to connect a TOPS card, an
3Com card, and a Microsoft Mouse, we had major problems. The mouse
doesn't like the 3Com card, and vice versa. The PCs seem to work fine
with TOPs and the mouse, but we usually get problems with ethernet
cards.
soooo, how hard would it be for the PC version to use Appletalk and use
the K Box ?
thanks

I would like to thank all of you for your patience. This is the first time
I have every run anything of this nature and most certainly on this scale.
As we are just starting, I have managed to send some duplicate messages and
to leave our routing alias active to the outside world, thus causing this
morning's reflection. This will not be a common occurance (I hope), but I
would like to request that when you submit something to the list, please
send it to:
telnet@ncsa.uiuc.edu
or
telnet@newton.ncsa.uiuc.edu (if your mailer doesn't like the other)
Thanks again for your patience and support.
Gaige
