[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] TCP/IP with DEPCA card

ctw@aerospace.aero.org (Charles T. Wolverton) (09/27/90)

I have a user request to use either NCSA Telnet or Hughes LAN Systems
LINC/TCP v.2.03 (FTP's PC/TCP) with a DEPCA card. Neither NCSA Telnet
nor the packet driver collection support this card. Any tricky (or,
heaven forbid, straightforward) way to do this??

Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't know what portion of our product line is used in LINC/TCP, but 
we do have a PC/TCP package that runs over DEPCA cards via DLL. Check
with Hughes to see if they can supply you with this.

   the DEPCA (russ?)

I haven't gotten the technical documentation, nor do I have a card.  I do,
however, appreciate the large demand for a DEPCA driver.  I have also
*finally* found the right people at DEC to talk to, and they seem eager
to help.  They were supposed to call me back, but I think my phone's
been screwed up most of this week, so it's time to call them...

  DEC has an NDIS driver for the DEPCA card. They'll be providing it in their
  next release of PCSA (Lan Manager over DECnet). They are planning to release
  it in December. ...

ProLINC's TCP,  which effectively replaces LINC/TCP,  supports NDIS.  When
DEC introduces their NDIS driver for the DEPCA card,  ProLINC's TCP should
work with it.
