[comp.sys.mac.comm] Problems with MacTCP

khlin@uiuc.edu (Ken-Huang Lin) (05/07/91)

I have a problem with MacTCP. I have long used NCSA Telnet 2.3
(non-MacTCP version) via a gatorbox without any problem. Recently we
attempted to ungrade to 2.4 so we installed the MacTCP. While it
worked fine with the other Mac SE's (also connected to the same
gatorbox), the one with SE30 often gaves errorous file transfer and
was totally unreliable. There was no error message, the number of bytes
seemed to be correct, but the conversion from .hqx to .sit indicated
that the file has been damaged. Checking the files I found in one case
that there was a wrong byte. Try with a Telnet 2.3 (MacTCP version) also
failed.

Series line Kermit always works, but it's too slow. I know how to set
file type appropriately. Can anyone give hints?

thanks in advance,
