We have tried to install the new version of NCSA Telnet (2.2) both on IBM PS/70 and 80 with 3c523 ethernet card. We use DOS 3.3 The doc's says that it should work. We have tried a lot of different settings in Config.tel. No success, the program reads the configuration file and halts the machine. I would like to hear if somebody of you in the netland has made it to work, or if it's known that it won't work. If you have a working installation, can you please mail me a copy of your Config.tel file (and maybe also config.sys). Thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hannu Koivisto hannu@tut.fi (internet -style address) koivisto@fintuta.bitnet (also via bitnet) Tampere University of Technology, Tampere, Finland ------------------------------------------------------------------------

NCSA Telnet was tested on a PS/2 Model 80 with a 3C523 board during development and beta testing. Other sites have reported success also. Two things to check: 1. NCSA Telnet, unless future versions specify explicitly, requires no additional drivers, manufacturers' or otherwise, to run. Some drivers co-exist (more or less), and some drivers conflict with NCSA Telnet. When in doubt, try running NCSA Telnet without any other network drivers in place. 2. NCSA Telnet will probably read the POS in the future, but for now, it requires that you set up the board addresses in the config.tel file. When you install your board with the POS software (reference disk), write down the I/O address and the shared memory address. Install these in the config.tel file. THEY ARE REQUIRED. example: address=c000 # shared memory address default (autoconfig) ioaddr=300 # I/O address default (autoconfig) Send mail to telbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu if you have further problems.
