Well, we're getting there. I have PC/NFS working with the Clarkson packet drivers. I have NCSA Telnet working with same (all the way to 2.3b8). That's fine. What isn't fine is that I can't manage coexistance. I have tried the NCSA version from Clarkson that is supposed to work with PC/NFS, and all I get is a hung session when I connect (it does initialize properly). Curiously enough, I can hit <ALT>M a few times and get on, but it appears that no processing is taking place until I go away from the display screen! Needless to say, this is a real bummer. Does anyone have any ideas for coexistance on these? I'd really like to be able to use NCSA Telnet and PC/NFS simultaneously, 'cause the Telnet that Sun supplies with PC/NFS stinks to high heaven, and some of our users really want things like the Tek mode and 3270 capability.... Ideas or further suggestions solicited. -- Karl Denninger AC Nielsen kdenning@ksun.naitc.com (708) 317-3285 Disclaimer: Contents represent opinions of the author; I do not speak for AC Nielsen on Usenet.

Although it is designed to serve multiple clients it is unable to provide several clients with THE SAME packets. This is neccessary because the PC/NFS adaptor (PACKET.SYS) registers for ALL types of incoming packets (also those for the telnet running in foreground). We have a solution here that consists of a modified packet driver. This one is able to deliver incoming packets to ALL clients that have registered for a specific type by just copying it to the various client areas. The modification changes only HEAD.ASM common to every ethernet card driver. For us it works fine with PC/NFS with WD8003E card. If there is great interest I'd like to know where to post it otherwise Karl, just ask me to send it to you.
