I recently saw a posting about someone having trouble getting NCSA Telnet to do name resolution with MacTCP. I'm having the same trouble. Could some kind soul help me out? I would have just asked the other person but I lost the posting. Thanks. -- Ray Johnson Internet: rjohnson@gwusun.gwu.edu Phone: (202)994-6853 The George Washington University

I need to hook up the macs in my office to our UNIX machine. We have SCO Unix running on a 386. I was wondering if I can access the UNIX system through the Macs without running serial lines to each mac. I'd like to use AppleTalk since I have a FlashCard for the 386. I see a lot of messages on this newsgroup which talk about Ethernet connections but not AppleTalk connections. My question is this: Can I get terminal emulation through the AppleTalk network or do I definately need to go Ethernet? Which ever way I need to go, what do I need on the Mac side (NSCS Telnet?) and what do I need on the SCO UNIX side? Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks... mark - still getting use to UNIX!

Yes you can get terminal emulation through AppleTalk, but you need to have a TCP on the UNIX side that knows about the AppleTalk hardware. If the SCO TCP/IP doesn't know how to deal with AppleTalk cards then you will have to use Ethernet. In either case you will need to have TCP/IP on the UNIX box, and some anyone of the following on the Mac: NCSA Telnet (Vt102, tek4014) Stanford MacIP (Vt100) Ungermann Bass UWS (Vt100 (?)) Novell HostAccess (Vt100) InterCon TCP/Connect II (VT241,tek4014,IBM 3278) You may use MacTCP with most of these as well if you wish, or the respective builtin TCP. You could also use a GatorBox, or a FastPath to connect your AppleTalk (just the Macs) to the Ethernet. That way you would only need to get one Ethernet card for the UNIX box and just use the builtin AppleTalk for the Macs. Hope that helps. -- InterCon Systems Corporation 703.709.9890 703.709.9896 FAX
