I have been having problems getting NCSA Telnet 2.3 to work reliably
via a Webster Multigate. One a session is established it works fine,
but often it just hangs and wont connect to any host.
The NCSA Configure Network Parameters seem to keep changing
without any reason. We have them set to Assign Dynamically with a subnet
mask of FFFFFF00. How does NCSA telent save these settings? The subnet
mask seems to disapear sometimes if you quit and re-enter the program,
or the check mark next to Use Subnetting Mask goes away. Telnet then
refuses to work even if you re-enter the mask and select it. Something
that seems to get it working again is selected a static IP number and
then changing back to dynamic. This problem is driving me crazy.
We have two Multigates and a Fastpath on our network, perhaps this has
something to do with the problem? We Also run an Alisashare filesever
on our VAXcluster.
I am not really confident that NCSA Telnet or the Multigates are
configured properly. I haven't got into CAP or the atalkad stuff
yet because we have no need to fileserve from our UNIX box yet.
The Macs we are trying to setup at the moment are on interface ab0
of multigate 2 (139.132.107.*).
Below are the config details for Telnet and Multigates
we are using.

# Example host file for Telnet 2.3 beta test
#
#
# Note: When running the MacTCP drivers, the following fields are meaningless,
# but may be included for compatibility with systems which do not have MacTCP:
# hardware,gateway,arptime,rwin,mtu,maxseg,retrans,zone
#
# "funny, this configuration file is readable ..."
#
# This file is free form
# Separators are any char <33 and :;=
#
# The form is keyword=value for each parameter.
# The first set of parameters refer to the whole program's defaults.
# These parameter values can be in any order.
# Following this are the individual machine specs.
# If the first machine is name "default", then it contains default
# values for the rest of the machines.
#
hardware=AppleTalk # Network connection type:
# values are: AppleTalk, Ether
# Ether<n>, EtherSE, EtherSC

#
# Following are individual machine specifications
# Gateways are used in order that they appear in the file
# Nameservers rotate, #1, #2, #3, #1, #2 when a request fails

# The machine named "default" contains the fields which are automatically
# filled in for other hosts. name=default machine should appear first.

# legal values are "delete" and "backspace"
