Hi. The first alpha release 7.x of the Clarkson collection of PC packet drivers is now available. You can FTP it from sun.soe.clarkson.edu, in pub/ka9q, as alpha.arc (you can also fetch it by mail from archive-server). Please note that this is an alpha test release, and so should be kept far, far away from novice users. The two big improvements as of this release are delayed initialization (lets you continue booting from a Novell drive using the boot rom's driver), and Ethernet/802.3 conversion (lets you avoid econfiging your Novell server). We now have four new drivers, the Tiara LANCARD driver, a Localtalk driver, NTI 16-bit driver and a Ungermann-Bass PC/NIC driver. See readme.1st and read.me for more details... Please test these and report your experiences back to me, both good and bad. I'm pulling a Larry Wall -- I'm off on a week's vacation as of tomorrow. So, have lots of fun (I will!) and don't forget to mail me a report. -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) Russ.Nelson@$315.268.6667 In Communism's central planning, citizens are told "you will make widgets".
