Recently we have updated pc-nfs to version 3.0 and 3C503 interface. We discovered that telnet, rcp, ftp, and rsh does not works with the Olivetti-M24 machines. Version 2.0 however, telnet etc., gives no problems on the same type (M24) machines. With the pcnfs version 2.0 sun delivers the 3C501 interface and with the 3.0 version sun uses the 3C503 board. With version 2.0 AND the 3C503 interface, telnet, rcp ftp and rsh works fine. The 3C501 board IN COMBINATION with pcnfs 3.0 telnet etc., works ALSO fine. The nfs server is a Sun4-280 with SunOS3.2. On the Kaypro (really IBM alike ??) telnet of version 3.0 and the 3C503 board gives no problems. It seems that version 3.0 of pc-nfs has only problems with the Olivetti-M24 (in the USA AT&T 6300). On suggestions of sunnl we did the following: We upgrade the Rom version on the M24 machine to 1.43 and use the PAL PL-90. The version of the OS is MS-DOS 3.10. However the result is that we still can not use telnet, rcp, ftp and rsh with pcnfs 3.0 and the 3com503 board on our M24 machines. The nfs functions are not a problem. Who has any relevant suggestions to solve this problem ?????????? ------------------------------
