Gaige has just released version 1.12 of NCSA Telnet. This version fixed the problem that I ran into last week with binary mode transfers. The transfer now works correctly and the guy using it is quite happy again. Gaige was *very* prompt with fixing this and quite helpful all around. -David Kovar

I seem to be having some trouble getting through to UIUC. Can someone put the bin hex file either on SUMEX-AIM.STANFORD.EDU or C.CS.CMU.EDU? -Charlie Dolan cpd@cs.ucla.edu

I have a problem with NCSA Telnet. I can connect to out Sun-4 fine
(through KFPS-4 running K-Star), but after about 3 minutes, the
connection freezes up. I can close the connection, but cannot
open another one until I quit the program and restart it. Is this
a knowb bug with NCSA Telnet?
On a similar note, I have been trying to get SU-MacIP running (since
NCSA Telnet does not work well). Unfortunately, I can't get that
to work at all. I have two KFPS gateways with IP address of
192.9.200.128 and 192.9.200.160. I have tried both dynamic and
static IP address selection, but no luck. Any ideas?

NCSA Telnet 2.2 runs without any undue pauses and freeze-ups for most sites without any problems. There are no known bugs which cause hangs or crashes during normal use after you have connected. I can't think of anything which you can configure which will cause a crash if you can at least get connected. So, suggestions when you get interrupted service: 1. Is anyone using your IP number? If you sometimes work for hours without a problem, but sometimes can't stay connected, check to see if someone else in the office has the same problem. They may have the same number that you do. Everyone must have a unique IP number. (Show Network Numbers from the Network menu) 2. Tuning. For AppleTalk and for a safe test, make sure your configuration file has these settings: rwin=512 ; mtu=512; maxseg=512 3. Check that you aren't running Pyro or other screensaver which will cause timeouts to occur after 3 minutes on most Unix systems. 4. Always check for conflicts with network INITs or mail programs. Don't run with Kinetics' or Apple's TCP drivers installed unless you know that there is no conflict on your system. If you are sure you checked, please send me your System version number, system 5.0 or 6.0.2, or other. Also make sure to indicate what kind of Ethernet board, FastPath and FastPath gateway software you are using. If there are any patterns to these problems, I may be able to find a solution.

Could someone please tell me where NCSA Telnet is available via anonymous
FTP? None of the NCSA hosts seem to support it.
Thanx,

Thanks to the following folks, who responded to my query about FTP sources
for NCSA Telnet:
Mark Verber <verber@cis.ohio-state.edu>
Steve Munson <sbm@purdue.edu>
Hock Koon Lim <lim@cwlim.cwru.edu>
Rakesh Patel <rapatel@aramis.rutgers.edu>
Dave Platt <dplatt@coherent.com>
Mike Paisley <paisley@mte.ncsu.edu>
The problem turned out to be this: Telnet is available from <ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu>
or <zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu> at Internet address 128.174.20.50. For some reason,
that host is not included in the latest Internet host table posted at
<sri-nic.arpa>. I downloaded it today, just to check. I was not able to FTP
to those hosts, because our FTP server uses the host tables to find the net
address. I was able to FTP to the net address directly tho. I have sent mail
to <postmaster@newton.ncsa.uiuc.edu> apprising them of the situation.

I have used BYU/NCSA 2.3.1/MacTCP via AppleTalk through a Shiva NetBridge
then on through a Kinetics FastPath 4 using K-Start 7.0 and it does work.
There are some restrictions. The NetBridge privacy option has to be turned
OFF and MacTCP has to be set to use SERVER (the FastPath) assigned IP
Addresses. You may have trouble with Class C addressing (try specifying
Class B instead). I suspect you can use other Telnet versions.
The privacy option has to be off and you have to use FastPath assigned
IP Addresses to get around Name Binding Protocol incompatibilities. There's
a basic incompatibility with the way NBP is used to establish and maintain
the TCP session and the way the NetBridge works.

Is it possible to telnet/ftp from a different LocalTalk zone through
a LocalTalk bridge and a Kinetics Fastpath 4? We are using NCSA telnet
2.3 and K-star 7.0. Especially, I am thinking of the following
configuration,
------- LocalTalk ------------------- LocalTalk -------------- Ethernet
I Mac I==============I Shiva NetBridge I=============I FastPath 4 I=====...
------- zone 1 ------------------- zone 2 -------------- zone 3
The documentation for NCSA Telnet 2.3 mentions option "zone=...", but
we haven't had the desired effect. The documentation for K-star 7.0 is
somewhat superficial at this point. It looks as if the telnet on the
mac could contact the Fastpath 4, but TCP/IP messages won't get routed
back. The basic configuration (1 LocalTalk net, 1 EtherTalk, 1 DDP/UDP
network as one zone) works.
