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,
Michael Helm (Internet M_Helm@lbl.gov)

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.
