[comp.protocols.appletalk] Telnet, PCs, and FlashCards

kovar%popvax@HARVARD.HARVARD.EDU (David C. Kovar) (01/02/90)

  I've been given several solutions to my problems with running Telnet
on a PC equipped with a FlashCard:
 
  1) Get Stanford's package which supports all three AT cards.
     $100 per institution.
  2) TCP/Connect from InterCon. (703) 450-7117
     It apparently has some other enhancements as well.
  3) Use NCSA Telnet 2.2. 2.3 apparently has bugs. Then again, I can't
     find any mention of the FlashCard in the 2.2 PC documentation so
     I am going to call NCSA. (As I should have done in the first place.)

  4) Use the version of PC/IP found at Harvard. I *think* it is in
     the public domain. If anyone is interested, I'll check to make sure
     and post how to get it.

  Thanks to everyone who helped out.

PC/IP is *not* public domain. It is usually free though. The original,
from MIT, carried a copyright that said you could do basically
anything with it but remove the copyright. CMU carried on where we
left off and used the same copyright, adding CMU to it as well. Other
places like Stanford rewrote lots of PC/IP and put much more
restrictive copyrights on the result. Dan Lanciani at Harvard has
collected stuff from that various people have done in the last several
years and put that together at Harvard; I think the collection
probably bears no new copyrights (though I haven't verified this), but
individual pieces may.
