Thanks to those who responded to my question about MacTCP/IP: for those interested on the net, the MacTCP driver version 1.0 contains bugs which can cause macs connected through localtalk and fastpaths/gatorboxes to hang. This will be fixed, they tell me, by the next release. (If you have an ethernet card in your mac or do not have mactcp the above does not apply to you.) Now, one more question: why is it that with both NCSA Telnet and the Stanford MacIP, the quote and apostrophe keys dont work with an apple extended keyboard? I get random capital letters instead. thomas

I get random capital letters instead. I suspect you must be running some INIT to give you "smart" quotes. The code points on the Macintosh for these curved apostrophe and quotation characters correspond to the code points for capital letters with the high order bit turned on. Many machines use the high order bit in characters for parity, so terminal emulators like Telnet ignore the high order bit to avoid being confused by it. Thus, your "smart" quotes look like capital letters to the terminal emulation. Turn off "smart" quotes and Telnet should behave normally. -- Kurt W.

I run into the same problem when I upload Mac files to the Unix system (and the Vax system) that I work with. -- -=Alan=- aland@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu
