[comp.dcom.lans] Excelan Lan Workplace and Packet Drivers?

root@joymrmn.UUCP (Marcel D. Mongeon) (07/18/90)

I have an Excelan 205T board in an SCO Xenix 386 machine
supporting the Lan Workplace software.  The board is hooked
up to a thinwire ethernet.  I have been trying (without
any success) to get some DOS based machines talking to this
board using other vendor's boards driven by appropriate
packet drivers.  I try both NETBIOS and FTP style calls to
the Excelan board and it doesn't respond.

The Excelan board is receiveing the packets because any of
the appropriate stat commands done before and after an
attempted link indicates that the excelan received packets --
it just didn't do anything with them!

I think that I am probably screwing up the IP and Ethernet
addresses.  Any suggestions?
