At work we use Excelan EXOS 205 boards for our PC ethernet connectivity. However, the telnet program Excelan provided is less than adequate. I have recently downloaded NCSA Telnet and have tried as many permutations of configuration settings as I saw possible (realizing that Excelan boards were not listed in the supported boards list). Does anyone else in this world use Excelan boards and have you used any software package other than the one delivered with these boards? -- Piper Keairnes * piper@rsvl.unisys.com * Purdue Univ.

If available, either from Excelan or wuarchive.wustl.edu (I forget the original authors), use a packet driver which interfaces with your card and presents a standard interface to NCSA Telnet. This approach has two other great benefits: you can use other services (such as Novell) while using NCSA telnet; and you can change out the ethernet card for another one at any time without doing anything to your application software - just install the new packet driver.
