I have been trying to get my PC to use NCSA Telnet (or any appletalk network application) while operating under MS Windows 386 enhanced mode. If I drop into a dos virtual machine, try to load my drivers, and then try to run NCSA Telnet, for instance, I get an "Error getting network number" or some such. I've gotten Telnet to work without Windows, and in Windows Standard mode. Some important facts: I'm using a TOPS flashcard, attached to an Appletalk network. I've tried loading the network drivers prior to running windows, to no avail. Quickmail PC, like Telnet, works without windows and in standard mode, but not in 386 enhanced mode. I pulled out my RAM chips, arranged them in a pentagram on my floor, and sacrificed a chicken, also to no avail. Does anybody have an idea what's going on here? Do I need other drivers? (mine are pretty up-to-date). Is this one of those well-known problems that is left unsovled only to embarrass people ignorant enough to ask about it? I would appreciate any comments or suggestions you might have. cook-robert@yale.edu
