Does anyone know if MacTCP (version 1.1 I think) that runs with System 7.0 is available yet? Brian Donnell NASA/JSC brian@krakatoa.jsc.nasa.gov

You must move MacTCP from the Control Panel folder and into the top level of the System Folder. Make an alias for it in the Control Panel so that it shows up there (although you can launch it directly under 7). I would note this caviat. Pluses die with MacTCP access under 7 if you are using a GatorBox. I can't even Telnet, times out before I even login. Other Mac (LC, SE/30, Si, Ci, Cx) all appear to be ok. >Brian Donnell >NASA/JSC >brian@krakatoa.jsc.nasa.gov >

I'm pretty sure that we have a Mac Plus running system 7 and MacTCP without any problems (other than the font problem in NCSA Telnet, as noted elsewhere). We're using version 1.0.1, perhaps that fixes whatever problem you're seeing? - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@rpi.edu or gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA

I have been running 7.0 with MacTCP 1.0.1 for several weeks now with no problems. You just have to make sure that MacTCP is in the Top Level of the System Folder and not in the Control Panel Folder, Although you can make an alias of it and put it there. > >Brian Donnell >NASA/JSC >brian@krakatoa.jsc.nasa.gov >

Is this what Apple call "System 7 compatible" as opposed to "System 7 friendly" ? I have experienced some hangs with MacTCP (I think), mostly when using Personel File Share and having active clients while running with VM on. Can anyone reproduce this? --- Jan B.

HyperFTP does not work in our IIci connected to a Gatorbox. It says it can't find the IP address. Telnet TCP does not work either. On a SE/30 things work all right though. Carlos Carvalho

NCSA Telnet (2.3 MacTCP and 2.4b12) both work fine with System 7 VM and MacTCP 1.0.1. Occassionaly I get lockups - but it works most of the time. However, if I use Shiva's beta-drivers for my EtherPort IIN board, I get crashes EXTREMELY often. Brian Donnell NASA/JSC

I've had reports about my app that it: - Crashes with VM turned on. - Crashes with VM turned on with 24 bit addressing, but works fine with VM & 32 bit addressing - Works most of the time with VM & 24 bit addressing - Works so long as MacTCP is initialized before any swapping is done on the application. Now, I'm fairly sure my program is 32bit clean (it runs under A/UX), and is not itself causing problems with VM (I use it with the CTB and VM without trouble). This seems like a really familiar story with System 7. I see a lot of postings saying "System 7 causes bad thing X" and an equal number of "Not for me it doesn't" postings. What I haven't seen much of is postings that reconcile the conflicts; "Well, you have bad thing X because you do Y". "Rock Solid" seems to be a bit optimistic. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner
