[comp.unix.ultrix] Problem with PC/TCP plus

edwards@dogie.macc.wisc.edu (mark edwards) (02/17/90)

I just bought a copy of FTP Softwares PC/TCP plus (includes PC NFS)
support. I'm trying to connect with an Ultrix machine and am having
problems. I tried calling FTP Software to find out what the problem was
and was told to contact my Vendor for support of PCNFS. FTP Software
provides a pcnfs daemon which apparently only works with Sun machines.

On the PC side it says it is mounting, asks me for a password and then
says that the Authentication daemon is not responding (or words to that
effect). The kind woman from FTP Software told me to get out a lan
tracer and watch packets go back and forth. If this was something like
NCSA Telnet plus with nfs support (doesn't exist), I'd get my netwatch
program out right away no questions. We payed for this though and if 
worked we'd liked to buy more copies. The PC/TCP with out the plus seems
very solid. The manual for the nfs support is very lacking also.

Can anyone help me with a PCNFS daemon that works with Ultrix machines?
or do I send my copy of PC/TCP plus back for a refund?

thanks,
mark
