Has anyone had any success in running NCSA's telnet software over a network which also is running Novell Netware? We recently hooked our lan to a bridge connected to the campus backbone and found that Telnet and FTP work fine unless we log onto the Novell server (2.0a) first... even logging out and removeing the Netware shell from memory does no good. Our Novell distributor merely asked "Telwhat? That's not a Novell product!" Surely others have a need to do remote logins from a lan??? Can anyone tell us what the problem is? Or suggest a way to get around it without checking out boot disks (most of our machines use boot roms!). Joe Applegate - Colorado School of Mines Computing Center

Then get a packet driver for the card you are using and get the new NCSA telnet that uses the packet driver. I think this is exactly what the packet driver spec is all about. I'm not sure how that will work w/ boot roms though, I guess it depends on how your system boots up. Brad Clements Network Engineer Clarkson University
