I just bought a copy of FTP Softwares PC/TCP plus (includes PC NFS)
support. I'm trying to connect with an Ultrix machine and am having
problems. I tried calling FTP Software to find out what the problem was
and was told to contact my Vendor for support of PCNFS. FTP Software
provides a pcnfs daemon which apparently only works with Sun machines.
On the PC side it says it is mounting, asks me for a password and then
says that the Authentication daemon is not responding (or words to that
effect). The kind woman from FTP Software told me to get out a lan
tracer and watch packets go back and forth. If this was something like
NCSA Telnet plus with nfs support (doesn't exist), I'd get my netwatch
program out right away no questions. We payed for this though and if
worked we'd liked to buy more copies. The PC/TCP with out the plus seems
very solid. The manual for the nfs support is very lacking also.
Can anyone help me with a PCNFS daemon that works with Ultrix machines?
or do I send my copy of PC/TCP plus back for a refund?
thanks,
mark

There is a program source which comes with PC/TCP Plus to support the secure authentication of users requesting a NFS mount. This program needs to be compiled and made available to allow your PC to use NFS. The program must reside on the NFS server. Hope this helps. -- Steven P.

We would like to use FTP's package but prior releases use TOO MUCH memory when netbios and a redirector are installed. In our current configuration, FTP+netbios+redirector requires about 153K. Has this release reduced the memory requirements any? -- Mark Regester Information Systems & Services, NCR Peripheral Products Division NCR:654-8340 <M.Regester@Wichita.NCR.COM> (316)636-8340 <uunet!ncrlnk!ncrwic!m.regester> FAX:636-8889

Between 2.03 and 2.04, the NETBIOS got about 9Kb smaller, but nothing much else has changed. If you have a 386, you can use one of the memory managers (386-to-the-max, QEMM). You also don't say which redirector you're using. Some are smaller than others. Give us a call. -- James B.
