This is my first posting, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes... I am trying to set up WINQVT/NET on my 386. I have a 3C501 card and have obtained the proper drivers from clarkson. I find the WINQVT docs to be quite confusing, and would like to know exactly how to configure the QVT_TCP.RC file. I know my IP#, domain, IRQ line, DMA address, etc, I just can't figure out how to properly get this into WINQVT. It just tells me "network initialization error", etc. Thanks a lot... I _really_ appreciate any help/suggestions. -Will Rose (wer5@midway.uchicago.edu) -- Will Rose

Set up the packet driver. The exact setup procedure depends on what Ethernet board you have. For the 3C501 driver, the syntax is: 3C501 packet_int_no [IRQ [I/O addr]] Defaults for IRQ and I/O address are 3 and 0x300 respectively, so if you use these addresses, you only need to specify the packet interrupt no, i.e. 0x7E, so in that case the command is 3C501 0x7E Please DO notice that you can't use interrupt no. 0x80! 2. Load the WinQVT/Net Packet Driver Protected Mode Interface by running PKTINT.COM 3. Edit your QVT_TCP.RC file. Necessary fields to edit: pc_ip = [your IP address, i.e. 192.33.237.2] packet_vector = [packet driver interrupt no, *MUST* be what you specified when you loaded the packed driver. In this example, it's 7E] packet_class = [0 for Ethernet, 6 for SLIP] Scroll down the file until you get to the User Configuration Section name = [Configuration name, i.e. ocelot.wang.COM] host = [Name of host to connect to, i.e. ocelot.wang.COM] host_ip = [IP address of host, i.e. 192.33.237.1] 4. Run WINQVT.EXE (WIN WINQVT.EXE) I hope this helps! -- Disclaimer: Wang doesn't care about my opinions, so why should you?

Hello, I have recently downloaded WinQVT/Net and am anxious to get

Boy, I sure wish that Mr. QVT would enclose the following file with his
distribution:
The Clarkson packet driver collection
Availability
The Clarkson collection of packet drivers is available by FTP, by
archive-server, and by modem. They come in two flavors -- executables
only (drivers.zip), and source+executables (driverss.zip). All of the
following instructions apply to both drivers.zip and driverss.zip.
Mail:
I distribute the packet drivers on two 360K 5.25" disks, or a 720K
3.5" disk. I charge a fee for the service of copying and mailing
these disks. You can send me a check for $20, or you can send me a
purchse order and I will bill you for $22. NY residents add 7% sales
tax, overseas orders add $3 for shipping. If you send a check,
please be sure it is in US dollars -- the bank charges me $15 to
convert checks drawn in foreign currencies.

I have just finsihed loading QVTNet. While it behaves under Windows (so far), I need to know if there is a way we can define keys other than the F keys. Has anybody tried this yet? %inc 'No.signature.file';
