It has the UB NICps driver you need. Wish I had as much luck. One fine day I tried to use the NICps driver. The very next day I learned from the tech support people that the machines in my lab have NIUps cards. These are two very different animals, I've been told. I took the liberty to examine the card. A daughter board has been attached to the main board near the AUI connector. It contains, among other things, an 82586 chip and a PAL or two. My question is this: Is this daughter board the only thing that makes it an NIU card? If the board were removed, would it become a NIC? Tech support either doesn't know or isn't allowed to tell me. UB's Telnet and FTP are almost as bad as Sun's, and I would love to install a packet driver to use NCSA's or Clarkson's programs. While I'm on the subject of UB's software, I would like to know how to interface other network cards with UB's funky MS-NET variant, UB-NET. I'm using the TCP version, and a memo I've received says that another board can use UB-NET through an NDIS driver. Can anyone shed some light on this?
