Hello all. I am a new memeber to this group, so pardon any ignorence on my part. I need an NCSA Telnet V2.2 compatible driver for the 3Com 503 Etherlink card. Bob Clements said it was availible from Clarkson, but didn't give a host name. I looked about on omnigate.clarkson.edu, but to no avail. Could someone tell me specifically where I can FTP this driver from? Thanks in advance. By the way, anyone wishing to relate war-stories concerning NCSA Telnet implementation on a PC with a 503 card, I'm all ears. Regards, Paul Charette <ee5990038@rvax.arizona.edu> Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Arizona "Well sure it's hot, but it's a _dry_ heat ..."

The support for 3C503 in NCSA TELNET has been a well-kept secret for some time. I've been mystified by an ftp site with a file 3C503.EXE obviously too small to be a special telbin.exe, but with a README file that refers to 3C503.COM, which isn't there, whereas the documentation with telbin.exe doesnt' say a thing about running anything else... I can't tell if someone has lost control of the project, or if we are just witnessing distributed development and maintenance, such as KERMIT has. Anyway, I finally got working telnet on my Z158 (XT clone) with a 3C503 by getting ftp from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu file NCSA_Telnet/PC.2.3beta/tel23b3.exe, which is a self-exploding archive file when you run it on a PC. In CONFIG.TEL I have: hardware=3c503 interrupt=3 address=dc00 ioaddr=300 among other things. The interrupt specification and/or the address parameter may be redundant/superfluous; I understand the 3C503 can work with or without shared for i/o, but in any case, this is working. You can also get telpass.exe from .../untarred at zaphod, run it on your PC, and will respond to ftp requests. I have not found any working ftpbin.exe, yet, so I can't initiate ftp from PC. Dave Johnson's posting 20-Nov has been the most helpful so far; I will forward a copy of that to you. /** --poko " I'm half Estonian, which makes up for the other half.
