I posted this (following) query yesterday and got super-fast and very good replies (5 of them), just what I needed to know. THANKYOU very much! Original Posting: ---------------- I'm not ethernet-knowledgeable, so excuse naive questions, but where can I find/buy software to use a 3com 3c503 etherlink2 card? 3com doesn't seem to know and the vendors I've called don't know. They say to ask friends. So, friends, I'm asking! Are they're versions of Ftp, telnet, (others?) that will run on a Compaq Deskpro 386/20 , under Compaq's MSDOS 3.31, with a 3COM 3c503 etherlink2 card connected to an ethernet network ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From @CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU:RAF@NIHCU.BITNET Fri Jul 21 08:14:28 1989 Return-Path: <@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU:RAF@NIHCU.BITNET> From: "Roger Fajman" <RAF%NIHCU.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU> Subject: Re: 3COM 3c503: what software under msdos 3.31 runs it? FTP Software's PC/TCP supports the 3C503. I think that recent versions of NCSA Telnet may also support it, but I'm not absolutely certain of that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From @bridge2.ESD.3Com.COM,@vax.SPD.3Com.COM,@gw3com:Eric_Siegel@DSD.3Mail.3Com.COM Fri Jul 21 09:04:53 1989 Return-Path: <@bridge2.ESD.3Com.COM,@vax.SPD.3Com.COM,@gw3com:Eric_Siegel@DSD.3Mail.3Com.COM> From: ames!DSD.3Mail.3Com.COM!Eric_Siegel Subject: 3COM 3c503: what software under msdos 3.31 runs it? Cc: COMP.DCOM.LANS_FOLKS@spd.3Mail.3Com.COM, Joe_Reddish@mkt.3Mail.3Com.COM I am a software product manager at 3Com Corporation and was concerned that you were not able to find out which software applications support the 3Com EtherLink II (3C503) adapter. 3Com has the broadest third-party software support of any vendor which includes support for such applications as 3+Open, NetWare, DECnet-DOS, VINES, PC-NFS, SCO XENIX, FTP's PC/TCP, etc..... In the "public" domain, there are PDS drivers available, support within NCSA Telnet, etc... All of the drivers for the commericial applications mentioned above are written, tested, supported, and shipped by the repsective third-party software vendor. Please let me know if you need any further specific information.
