I've been trying to ftp large (>100k) files from my macII to a SUN using both appletalk (kinetics box) and apple ethertalk. I have MacTCP installed on my mac. THings work fine except for larger (>250k) files. When these larger files are transferred, the transfer never really ends, and the SUN gets MBytes of data, and the mac eventually bombs. Aside from the obvious question of why this happens, I want to know if MacTCP is utilized in Telnet 2.3. I notice that there is another program which is called Telnet 2.3 -MacTCP-. Do I need to run this version to use MacTCP? I figure maybe that will sidestep the problem I have and I will be able to get on with transferring large files.

You should be using the MacTCP version of Telnet if you intend to use MacTCP to communicate via your Kbox. I don't know if this will solve your problem with crashing, but I think that it may eliminate potential probs. --Michael L Barrow mlbarrow@athena.mit.edu o MIT Information Systems/Information Services MCR Consultant o Project Athena Volunteer User Consultant o Member, Student Information Processing Board (SIPB)
