In the past I have used the Clarkson University Tcp Communication Package
and Terminal Emulator [CUTCP/CUTE] on a tcp/ip ethernet network.
Now I am on a Novell Network. In order to connect to our Unix machines, I
use a Racal-Interlan software product. It loads the NetBIOS emulator, issues
a gateway attach command for my server and then runs a telnet command which
includes novlcom and a DEC VT220 terminal emulator.
But I don't like the DEC VT220 emulator, and it doesn't do a Tektronix
graphics emulation like CUTCP/CUTE.
So I downloaded the drivers from Clarkson University to see if there might
be some way for me to use the Clarkson University telnet, but it's not
clear how. Do I load the NetBIOS and then use the nb.com driver or do I
use the ipxpkt driver, and do I need the 3C503 driver, do I need to issue the
gwattach command, or what?
My configuration is:
Network Interface Card: 3Com 3C503, I/O=2E0h INT=5 DMA=3 BNC
with interupts 0x7A and 0x64
IPX.COM : IPX/SPX Ver 2.15, Etherlink II Version 2.30 Ec
NET3.COM : NetWare Ver. 2.12 rev. A
NETBIOS : Novell Network BIOS Emulator Ver. 2.10,
with interupts 0x5C and 0x2A
GWATTACH : Racal Interlan TCP Gateway Ver. 1.0
TELNET : Racal Interlan Ver. 1.4
I wouldn't mind having two boot configuration files if I had to.
Will it be necessary for me to consult with the network supervisor in
order to get this to work?

You are using the Racal Interlan TCP Gateway. It comes with its own Telnet which uses Netbios RPC's to talk to TCP code on the file server. there is no way you can have it talk to a Clarkson TN as the R-I Telnet is heavily customized to work over Netbios.

Best solution is to run the packet driver, then run Novell and CUTCP over it.
My configuration is:
Network Interface Card: 3Com 3C503, I/O=2E0h INT=5 DMA=3 BNC
with interupts 0x7A and 0x64
3c503 -n 0x7e 5 0x2e0 1
IPX.COM : IPX/SPX Ver 2.15, Etherlink II Version 2.30 Ec
You'll need sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/novell/novell.exe, so that you can
regenerate your IPX to use the packet driver.
NET3.COM : NetWare Ver. 2.12 rev. A
The below are not needed.
NETBIOS : Novell Network BIOS Emulator Ver. 2.10,
with interupts 0x5C and 0x2A
GWATTACH : Racal Interlan TCP Gateway Ver. 1.0
TELNET : Racal Interlan Ver. 1.4
Configure CUTCP's config.tel to run over the packet driver. Comment out the
other hardware parameters -- the packet driver already knows them.
I wouldn't mind having two boot configuration files if I had to.
Not necessary.

Will you need their permission? No. Might you need their help? Maybe.
You'll certainly need to know your IP address, netmask, and gateway IP
address. You might be able to figure them out from the R/I software,
but then again, you might not.
