[comp.dcom.lans] Cabletron card and KA9Q

edwards@dogie.macc.wisc.edu (mark edwards) (02/27/90)

I have a loaner E2010 ethernet card for evaluation from Cabletron. It has an
interface for their version of  Twisted Pair. So far using their packet
driver (csipd_e) I've been able to get NCSA Telnet, the Harvard version
of PCIP, Novell, and FTP Software's code to work with it. I haven't been
able to get KA9q (NOS or netpc) to work with it. I do have NOS and netpc
working with the packet driver for the 3C501, 3C503, 3C523, WD8003, and
NI5210.

Does anyone have KA9Q working on this card? What is different in KA9Q
that would make it not work with the driver and all the other programs
work?

thanks,
mark

Try running the packet driver tracer and see what gives.  It's in
sun.soe.clarkson.edu:/pub/ka9q/drivers.arc.  You'll need TRACE.COM
and DUMP.EXE.  Run the packet driver, then trace, then KA9Q.  After you
exit from KA9Q, exit from the command interpreter and run dump.  I'll
look at it, but you'll have to get Cabletron to fix it because I'm sure
that they're not giving out source code.

Unlike us.  :-)
