I recently tested NCSA telnet version 2.2 and version 2.3 (ordinary and MacTCP versions of the latter) on the new Macintosh portable. I was unable to get them to work - they caused a System Error 12. Strangely, tn3270 from Brown worked perfectly OK. Has anyone had any experience with this and advice to offer? Thanks, Austin Shelton U.C. Berkeley

It turns out that there was some code in there (which goes back a WHILE) concerning color tables which is what is killing the portable. What's wierd is that it should also be killing the plus and SE... It has been fixed in TCP/Connect and the change has been wired to the folks at NCSA to make the change there as well, so I assume a new version, or patched version, will be available soon. (Why tn3270 works is probably because the problem was in the terminal code and tn3270 does it's own terminal handling) -- +--------------------------------------------------+ Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025

Luckily, it was an easy fix. For more Portable TCP/IP fun, "slip" by our booth at Interop... -- Amanda Walker amanda@intercon.com
