Can some one mail me NCSA Telnet 2.1e (the version that supports ethertalk directly?). I've had a least 2 people inside of Hp who have access to the outside world attempt to connect to NCSA, but the connection does not last long enough for them to ftp the files let alone get into the distribution directory. I will be cutting a Purchase order to get everything the usual snail way, but in the mean time I would like to be able to actually do something with that nice card I recently installed into my Mac II here. Any assistance would be appreciated.

David is up and running; I sent him the 2.1e bits. Now, let's talk about extending NCSA Telnet to support the transfer of complete Macintosh files without using an encoding program such as binhex, packit, or stuffit. Could (and should) "binary" mode of ftp be switchable to meaning to transfer all three forks of a Macintosh file, say, to and from "MacBinary" form, instead of meaning only transfer the data fork? Is this an appropriate forum to discuss the operation of NCSA Telnet? Happy New Year, Gary L.

Full Macintosh files should be transferred via MacBinary, the format used for most Mac BBS's. An extension to the FTP standard to include 'TYPE M' for these types of transfers is one way to do it, the best I know of. I encourage anyone who has the source code to work on this. We will distribute it as soon as we can check its reliability. Contact me if there are any problems. Tim Krauskopf National Center for Supercomputing Applications timk@ncsa.uiuc.edu (217)244-0638
