[comp.os.msdos.programmer] WinQvt problems

      I work here at in a lab, at the University of Washington.  We have
      been evaluating QvtNet 1.6, and are seriously thinking about imple-
      menting it here, to replace NCSA telnet.  But we have a few problems
      that people here might have solutions to:


      1)  The FTP section gives unpredictable UAE's in standard and enhanced
          mode.

      2)  Although we probably won't use the news reader, the NEWS section
          doesn't scroll the message, unless you go to the Task Manager
          escape from that, then the arrow keys, and page keys work.

      3)  In the list of configurations, we have some machines that we
          often connect to on campus net.  We also have 1 gateway, and
          2 nameservers configured, with the names commented out.  This
          creates a problem.  The last configuration listed in the Telnet
          box, defaults automatically to one of the nameservers, even if
          the name, and ip in the configuration have already been specified.
          The only way to make it work, is reveal the name of the gateway and
          nameservers.  Which put them in the list in the Telnet box, which
          is something we don't want.


      We are running on Novell 286 not sure what version, but here are the
      setups for the packet drivers:

      3c523 -w 0x66 0x3 0x300       (Version 7.1.2)
      Pktint                        (QvtNet Real mode interface)
      BYUIPX                        (3.01 Rev. A)
      Net3                          (3.01 Rev. E)

      The BYUIPX, is a wierd IPX to make Telnet work with the IP, on the     
      campus network, through novell, or something like that.  Don't know
      if it could cause all these problems.

      Machine is IBM PS/2 model 70/386, running win 3.00a

      We don't have any TSR's loaded, except network stuff.  Any ideas??
