I am posting this to comp.sys.intel since I am trying to reach a certain audience at Intel (they just purchased Bell Technologies of CA recently). I am running Interactive's 386/ix v2.0.1 Unix product w/their Host-Based TCP/ip v2.0.1 and BELL TECHNOLOGIES's ACE-8 card (8-port async card). The problem I see when running 'telnet' is that about 1-2% of the characters transmitted via the BELL card gets its bits shifted / dropped, which is *unacceptable*. Rlogin seems to work, no problems. TCP/ip is configured to run w/WD's 8003E Ethernet product. The ACE driver is R2.0. The current people that I am dealing with has refused to look into this problem any further, stating that they cannot reproduce this problem on their Interactive testbed system (their Tech Support dummies^H^H^H^H^H^H^H people claim that they have tested their drivers w/my configuration, but I have my doubts). An' I don't think that they like me any more (.snivel.) since they rarely return my calls... :-( Well, next stop, the Sales Manager... maybe *he'll* listen :-| . Yeah, that's it :-} . QUESTION: Has *anybody* successfully used Bell's ACE product w/Interactive v2.0.1 & Interactive's Host Based TCP/ip, specifically 'telnet'ing? Has anyone else out there seen the same failures that I have seen? If you have a similar setup / failure / success, please E-Mail me - see signature below. P.S. Do you think it'd help if I purchased a $hare of Intel stock? ;-) -- ---------- Jerry Chan (encore!chansw!chan) 508-853-0747 | "My views necessarily reflect the Chan Smart!Ware Computer Services & Products | views of the Company because Worcester, MA 01606 | I *am* the Company." :-)
