I have just got hold of V3.0 of NTS/TCP to run on Micom NTS100, this is supposed to cure a bug that crashes the server with NTS/TCP V2.0. When the terminal server is configured with the ports as Slave, (which we use to connect to non-TCP/IP hosts), it becomes very fussy about what hosts can connect to it properly. It works with an HP 9000/350 and an Apollo DN570 and other Micom NTS100s. It has stopped working with the IBM VM/CMS (5798-FAL) and PCs with various ethernet cards (Software PC/TCP from FTP Inc.) I have connected a loopback connector and monitor to one port on the server and connected to it from various hosts. I also had an ethernet monitor running. When I type I expect the characters to be echoed back. From all hosts the correct characters arrive at the port and are echoed correctly, but on the PCs and IBM the packet sent from the server dosn't contain the character that was sent. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone thing of anything to solve the problem?
