I posted a problem about getting WinQVT/Net to run on a Model 55SX. The problem was no matter what I tried I got the error message: Stop! Network Initialization Error! The problem was too many hosts in my QVT_TCP.RC file. It now has 11 hosts specified (including the Gateway and one Name Server) and its happy. Apparently the host menu can only accomodate 11 entries. Any more and the program chokes. Perhaps the author had trouble getting a scroll bar to work in that menu? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmmmm... this is getting more and more perplexing. A friend of mine has a QVT_TCP.RC with about 15 hosts, and his works fine! He says he had to delete all the comments to get it to work. Well, I tried that and still got the errors, which I could get to dissapear deleting the hosts one by one until it worked. Strange! By the way, I've discovered another annoying trait. In emacs, I now have to type ctrl-shift-2 to get a mark set. In Telnet a simple ctrl-2 worked fine. Paste to VMS machines still doesn't work. Is there a way to get Windows to slow down its paste routine? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is possible that the problems with qvtnet 1.5 are related to the qvt_tcp.rc file that came with qvtnet 1.5. One of the things I didn't mention about fixing my problems was that I went back to the .rc file that came with 1.3, and typed in the stuff that seemed important from 1.5. I recall someone else saying that the line that makes sessions automatically start has a bug in it (missing underline character.) I have >15 hosts in my .rc, and it works. I do find, however, that qvtnet is flaky, and will crash at times (esp during ftp/anonymous ftp transfers). This seems to screw up the packet driver, because qvtnet will not run ater that, saying that it can't find the packet driver. The only way I can get it to work after that is to reboot my machine. Pain, to say the least. >By the way, I've discovered another annoying trait. In >emacs, I now have to type ctrl-shift-2 to get a mark >set. In Telnet a simple ctrl-2 worked fine. this might have something to do with the way the keyboard driver in windows works. I have actually, always used ctrl-shift-2, because the mark character is ctrl-@... >Paste to VMS machines still doesn't work. Is there a >way to get Windows to slow down its paste routine? Paste does work under unix, though I haven't tried any large pastes. kartik -- Anant Kartik Mithal akm@cs.uoregon.edu Research Assistant, (503)346-4408 (msgs) Department of Computer Science, (503)346-3989 (direct) University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1202
