[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] NCSA and NOVELL

If you get the beta-test Packet Driver version of NCSA from Clarkson, and
get somebody's version of IPX which supports the Packet Driver too, then
you win.  Otherwise, you lose.

Thanks to Brad Clements and also to all those developers of NCSA and the
packet driver people (FTP and all) for the NCSA talking through the packet
spec. I have just received from various places the bits that should make
Netware and NCSA TCP/IP work concurrently on the one card. This is my
first experience of the packet driver and I may be doing something wrong
but it 'almost' works. Perhaps those in the know can solve:

I have a 3c501.COM from Phil Karn originally.
I have the BYU Novell .LAN and .OBJ files stating they are for Netware 2.1.
I generated the Novell Shell to talk to the packet driver using these BYU
  files.
I run 3c501 with 0x60 3 0x300 as the parameters.
I run IPX and all seems fine.
I run NET3 and a fileserver is NOT found.

I read somewhere something about a Novell thing called ECONFIG but cannot
find documentation etc on it. (Apparently it ensures 'ethernet' rather than
802.3 packets used and maybe the server card has to be configured to allow
this). I am not sure if I am giving the right parameters to the 3c501.com.
Is there any documentation explaining how to invoke the packet driver.
I have not yet tested that the NCSA will address the packet driver with
these parameters but am confident it will.

Has anyone had the Novell BYU stuff work with Netware 2.15 (or 2.12) and
if so what, if any, mods do I need to d?.

Once again thanks to all those involved and I hope this is read by the
packet driver, NCSA, and BYU people.

Give Phil the credit, but blame me for the bugs.
   I run 3c501 with 0x60 3 0x300 as the parameters.
That sounds good to me, but you might try it with values other than 0x60,
as some of the interrupts between 0x60 and 0x80 are used by other software.

   I am not sure if I am giving the right parameters to the 3c501.com.
   Is there any documentation explaining how to invoke the packet driver.
Each of the packet drivers will emit a usage: line if invoked without any
parameters.  If invoked with one parameter (the software interrupt used
to communicate with it), then the interrupt, I/O port, etc. default to the
manufacturers defaults.  In other words, there is no documentation.  Given
the amount of trouble people have, I need to write some.

Hi,

we are running KA9As NOS as IP-gateway between our tokenring and ethernet.
There are only DOS-PCs and NOVELL-Servers connected to the tokenring.
I would like to use BOOTP to assign IP-Adresses to the DOS-machines on the
tokenring which are running NCSA-Telnet. I can run BOOTP on a UNIX-
machine on the ethernet, but I think NOS doesn't transport BOOTP-
Packets.

Any ideas what we can do?
