I am having problems keeping a window open for TELNET. I am using an early 1990 version of the program, distributed by Clarkson U. and am ethernetted to a SUN network. When I am not actively in the TELNET window, my system hangs up after about 10 minutes and I have to reboot. Any comments/suggestions/fixes ? Thanks Stanley Wasserman stanwass@uiuc.edu

The problem is due to the way NCSA and CUTCP TELNET/FTP access the packet driver. An alternative program from QPC Software (Penfield, NY) gets around this problem by providing a TSR interface to the packet driver, with their TELNET/FTP equivalent software accessing this interface. QPC Software's package is called WinQVT/Net. It is a shareware program in version 1.30. TELNET with vt52/vt100/vt200 emulation and FTP are provided. I just began using it last week and, other than having to setup a host table (doesn't do DNR) it works okay. I would like to see better fonts and Tektronix graphics terminal emulation, but it is very usable in its present state. WinQVT/Net is available from cica.cica.indiana.edu <129.79.20.22>. As with all shareware, make sure you pay for it if you decide to keep using it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CCIS * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use both the WinQVT (just started testing it) and CUTCP TN3270 and much prefer CUTCP because I have to access a VM host sometimes. Unfortunately CUTCP has been hanging in Windows. WinQVT does not seem to suffer this problem. Maybe the people that do WinQVT could add the Tek graphics and tn3270 emulation to make it the do all to end all??!! tj
