Has anyone had experience using Adaptec's Nodem and NCSA Telnet? (This is a SCSI EtherTalk device.) I can only get it to work with VERY poor response time and am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I have tried both Telnet 2.3 MacTCP and Telnet 2.3 with internal TCP/IP drivers. And my Eudora email program, which worked beautifully with an EtherPort adapter, gives a MacTCP Receive Buffer Pointing To 0 error message with the Nodem or times out after 20 seconds of no response. I'm running system 6.0.4 on an SE and the internal hard disk is the only other SCSI device. (I have a SCSI terminator on the second Nodem SCSI connector.) Any help would be appreciated! -- Sue -- ========================================================================= Sue Klefstad | "Things are more like they are now Ill.

Take a look at the version number and let me know I will check it against ours. We use the Nodem around here and find that it's a very good piece of hardware. -- Kurt Baumann 703.709.9890 703.709.9896 FAX

We now use Ether+ instead, and it seems to work well (using MacTCP set to server and bootp hangs Telnet, but otherwise no problems). -- Roland Mansson, Lund University Computing Center, Box 783, S220 07 Lund, Sweden Phone: +46-46107436 Fax: +46-46138225 Bitnet: roland_m@seldc52 Internet: roland.mansson@ldc.lu.se or roland.mansson%ldc.lu.se@uunet.uu.net UUCP: {uunet,mcvax}!sunic!ldc.lu.se!roland.mansson AppleLink: SW0022

Two of us here at Claris use Nodems and MacTCP verison of NCSA Telnet 2.3 on a MacPlus with a HD20 (non-SCSI disk). We don't have any problems with them after we got the Phase II software. The verison number on the disk we got from Adaptec is E428 and we have to use the Opt. B version of the driver because of the Pluses. Actually we are having one problem with this setup, AppleTalk version 53 has a bug in it that won't allow FileMaker to work correctly across the network on Macs that have the 128K ROMs. A one byte patch to the .XPP driver fixes the problem. -- Clay Maeckel * UUCP: {ames,apple,portal,sun,voder}!claris!clay (I know nothing!) * Internet: clay@claris.com * GEnie: C.MAECKEL Claris Corporation * AppleLink: Maeckel1 * CompuServe: 73057,255

You are trying to debug a CTB program and things bomb, BUT you have already opened a connection, so that when you restart the program, you get the message "Sorry-the serial port is not available" (mutatis mutandis). So, how do you "grab" the serial port away. [Without rebooting, that is...] I understand that this might be an anti-social thing to do, but I promise I will only do it while debugging, ok? -- Terry Monks Automata Design Inc (703) 472-9400
