[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] TCP/IP/Novell/terminal emulator for Wollongong

todd@pinhead.pegasus.com (Todd Ogasawara) (04/30/91)

I am using Wollongong's WIN/TCP for DOS to talk to my UNIX box from 
a Novell network via Wollongong's WIN/ROUTE for DOS (this routes the
encapsulated TCP/IP packets within an IPX packet to get to my UNIX box).
The problem is that the vt100 emulator that is used by both the telnet and
rlogin software from Wollongong has a few problems and I would like to use
another terminal emulator. Wollongong allows you to use another emulator.
However, the software must go through interrupt 14. I don't have anything
that does that (Kermit, Procomm, etc.).

Does anyone know of any public domain/shareware/commercial terminal
emulator that will let me use this intr 14 hook with my Wollongong
software? Thanks...todd

I am testing a few terminal emulators right now.  The list
includes ZSTEM240 from Kea, and Smarterm 340 from persoft.  I have
tried both with WIN TCP and Pathway Access (the upgrade from
WIN TCP).  I couldn't get ZSTEM240 to work with WIN TCP in
Windows 3.0 enhanced mode.  It might be an old version of 
ZSTEM240 that I was given.  Smarterm 340 worked ok, but I didn't
try it using WIN ROUTE.  Smarterm 340 includes a multiprotocol
kit which means you don't need WIN TCP.  It comes with its own
telnet and ftp.  No ping, rcp, or other utilities though.  The
multiprotocol kit only has ethernet packet drivers so it may
not be of much help to you.
  
I have used Procomm a few times and I do remember it supporting
INT 14.
  
I don't have any other comments since I haven't received any of
the other requested terminal emulators yet.  For now, Smarterm
340 leads the way in meeting our requirements.

Thanks to the many people who set me sent e-mail telling me the answer to
my problems. Good ol' MS Kermit 3.10 (which I already had) did the trick.

I call Kermit from the Wollongong MS-DOS software using the command

	telnet -e kermit hostname

or a batch file containing the lines

	rlogin hostname -e -l username
	kermit

and have

	SET PORT BIOS1

in my MSKERMIT.INI file (along with my normal setup).

Now everything works just fine. Thanks again to everyone who responded!

A recent article in (I believe) PC-Week, surveyed communications programs
for networking environments.  Several of the programs supported the INT 14
interface.  Crosstalk Mark IV, and Smartcom EXEC, were the top rated programs
and both support the INT 14 interface. 

I work for Hayes and am biased, of course, but EXEC is an outstanding
value, available retail for around $70, and was recently a PC-Mag
Editor's choice COMM program.

Once again the FAQ list heh?  MS-Kermit is public domain, can be obtained
from any number of ftp sites, and will use int 14.  This gets you vt320
I believe for a terminal type.  To activate it use "set line bios1" I
believe.

Are you loading packet drivers, BYU IPX for packet drivers, and the NETx?

Are you getting any error messages other than File Server not found?

Are you able to use NCSA without loading the Novell shells?

We ran NCSA here for a while before moving to the Clarkson modified
version without very many problems on a variety of boards.

If you can get me more info on screen messages, settings, software
versions etc., I'll see if I can reproduce the situation here or
suggest some alternatives.
