If *memory* serves, the last release of NCP that worked with a 3705 was
NCP V2. Either that, or you're out of memory (e.g. more standard
read: non-sysgenable, options).

I got a very similar error when I tried to move from NCP 4.2.0 to
NCP 4.3.1 on my 3725.  It turned out that the problem was not enough
memory in the 3725.  I had a 768K 3725 and the 4.2.0 NCP took about
512K, but the 4.3.1 NCP took nearly 1 meg.  There is a tech bulletin
that outlines the memory considerations for upgrades at these release
levels, but I can't put my hands on it right now.

Try removing some comm lines from your NCP source deck and see if you
can get anything to load, even if it doesn't have all your terminals
defined.  At least you can then know that your gen process is OK.

         We have an IBM 4341-2  with a 3705-2 Communication controller.  We
    installed SSP V3.2,  VTAM V3.1 and NCP  V3.1.  When we try  to load NCP
    onto 3705, we get the following errors.   How can we manage to load NCP
    onto 3705  without errors?  Any  help would be  appreciated.
