Let me first apologize for the length of this query but i think this
problem may start cropping up more and more as people start using
MSWindows3.0
I have recently installed Windows 3.0 and I must say i am impressed with it.
Hoevere I really do need to get NCSA to work reliably with it. I experience
the following strange behaviour:
1) On occasions when i exit NCSA telnet, Windows decides to die with it,
sometimes gracefully, sometimes very very ungracefully.
2) When I put NCSA telnet into the background, and then return to it,
some -not all- of the sessions unexpectantly close (gracefully) as
if I logged out myself.
3) Worst of all, is when I put NCSA telnet in the background,
start up some applications in Windows and then attempt to return
to NCSA I get an out of memory error. Funny thing is, when i
query the Program manager I have something like 10Mg free and
65% resources free. Nevertheless, quitting all the applications in
Windows still wont free the memory I need to get NCSA going.
In defence to NCSA, i think most of the problems arise from the way
i have specified my PIF for Telnet. I allocate 128kb and i give it 640k
(if desired). I have cleared the detect idle flag and have put the
exclusive flag on (oh yeah I have set the -w flag when i start the
packet driver - but that goes with out saying). Is there anything
else i can do to obtain a more stable behaviour from NCSA?
I think Windows is great (for the DOS world) and I really want to give
it a shot.
Thanx for your time,
Steve

Use WinQVT NET with Windows 3.0. You can have several telnet sessions each with there own window. Emulates vt200 terms. Works with packet drivers. And you can have ftp sessions going simultanous. The file is available on my bbs. File: wnqvtnet.zip located in the msdos_comm files section. Phone numbers for the bbs should be in the .sig. I tested it out on a 386SX with WD8003E cards over to an ESIX system, the only bug I ran into is mget on ftp reports mulitple file transmit errors. ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda palowoda@fiver | *Home of Fiver BBS* Home {sun}!ys2!fiver!palowoda | 415-623-8809 1200/2400 {pacbell}!indetech!fiver!palowoda | An XBBS System Work {sun,pyramid,decwrl}!megatest!palowoda| 415-623-8806 1200/2400/19.2k TB+

That's where I found it last week. WinQVTnet does work, though it is a little rough. Since your already running NCSA, I assume you have properly installed packet drivers. The only other setup is a small TSR loaded before Windows, and set-up of a host table in the WinQVTnet config file. WinQVT does not seem to support domain name resolution, so plan to spend some time manually typing the host and ip assignments for each system you want to access. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CCIS * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my first tests with WINQVTNET I found that it *does* support domain name servers, but wants every host listed in its config file. What it doesn't: no RARP, doesn't work with FTP's NDIS-to-packet-converter, so it looks like is it based on some older TCP/IP kernel. And, like all the QVT Windows programs before, it doesn't like my german keyboard. So I think it is an interesting and promising program, but needs some polishing before it's really usable.

Ciao questo programma per windows3 io l'avevo gia provato tempo fa e non va male .Pero' il problema sta nel fatto che non si riesce a lavorare in Full Screen ma solo in Line Mode.Di conseguenza si lavora solo in ambiente puramente Unix,comunque continuo con le prove. Ti ringrazio e ti saluto
