I have an Excelan 205T board in an SCO Xenix 386 machine supporting the Lan Workplace software. The board is hooked up to a thinwire ethernet. I have been trying (without any success) to get some DOS based machines talking to this board using other vendor's boards driven by appropriate packet drivers. I try both NETBIOS and FTP style calls to the Excelan board and it doesn't respond. The Excelan board is receiveing the packets because any of the appropriate stat commands done before and after an attempted link indicates that the excelan received packets -- it just didn't do anything with them! I think that I am probably screwing up the IP and Ethernet addresses. Any suggestions? -- ||| Marcel D. Mongeon ||| e-mail: ... (uunet, maccs)!joymrmn!root or ||| joymrmn!marcelm

I try both NETBIOS and FTP style calls to >the Excelan board and it doesn't respond. We have installed 205T and 3C503 in DOS,UNIX and XENIX-Systems All is working. On DOS we HAVE PC NFS and LAN WORKPLACE, on XENIX LAN-WORKPLACE and SCO XENIX NET, on UNIX SCO TCP/IP and SCO NFS. As I know, you can't do NETBIOS-calls form DOS without a NETBIOS emulation on XENIX. This is a part of XENIX NET. >The Excelan board is receiveing the packets because any of >the appropriate stat commands done before and after an >attempted link indicates that the excelan received packets -- >it just didn't do anything with them! Do have edited the proper files: /etc/hosts on DOS and XENIX What products do have installed on DOS. If you can mail me some more information, i will try to answer you question in a better way. best regards Tillmann -- Dipl.Ing.
