NCSA's software works fine with the Token Ring packet driver.
I think the packet drivers can be ftp'ed from sun.soe.clarkson.edu

>2. Does anyone knows on a public domain software in sleep protocol?

Never heard of sleep protocol.

Dear Experts,

We seem to have a choice when running our PC's as terminals.  We can
use KERMIT and COM1 which gives us KERMIT's great ability to bind keys
anyway you like but is slow OR we can use NCSA and our Western Digital
ethernet boards which gives us great speed but no key binding ability.
Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?  Can KERMIT work with
WD's ethernet board (we're using 2.32A, but could switch to 3.01) or
is there a PD version of NCSA that allows full key binding?

Thanks!

I use NCSA Telnet version 2.2D with SuperKey. You lose some new
features found in the later version but it works fine.
