Greetings. I am trying desperately to get NCSA Telnet, PC-NFS to work with the Clarkson packet drivers in our lab. Everything works great until: 1. You exit Telnet 2. You attempt to shell out (Alt-e) 3. You exit FTP In each instance the client machine locks up with the Network activity light staying on constantly. After exiting telnet the following error comes up: "run-time error R6001 - null pointer assignment" After some time dos comes back with: "Not ready reading drive H" etc.. The client pc must then be rebooted. The hardware/software is: Server: Sun Sparc1 (SunOS 4.1) Clients: Fifteen 386 pc's with VGA running DOS3.3 and PC-NFS 3.0.1 Our configuration files follow (sorry for the length): The config.tel file: keyboard=off termtype="vt100" myip=RARP netmask=255.255.0.0 # subnetting mask #hardware=packet # network adapter board (packet driver interface) hardware=wd800 # network adapter board (Western Digital WD8003EB) address=d200 # Remember to run the 'SETUP' program ioaddr=280 # provided by Western Digital to enable interrupt=3 # the board correctly! tek=no # enable tektronix graphics video=vga50 # type of video screen bios=no # don't use slow BIOS screen access ftp=no # do you want ftp enabled? rcp=no # do you want rcp enabled? capfile=h:\tel.cap # default name for capture file domain="mpccl.ksu.edu" arptime=8 # arp timeout in seconds name = default # Session name, "default" is a reserved name host=einstein.mpccl.ksu.edu # Our host, a Sparc1 hostip=129.130.31.1 # IP address of host scrollback=400 # number of lines of scrollback per session color=025070 # color code for specific session erase=backspace # use delete code or backspace code for <- key? vtwrap=yes # should VT100 be in wrap mode or not? crmap=4.3BSDCRNUL # map of the CR key for compatibility contime=20 # timeout in seconds to try connection retrans=7 # starting retransmit time out in ticks mtu=512 # maximum transmit unit in bytes maxseg=512 # largest segment we can receive rwin=512 # most bytes we can receive without ACK name=einstein.mpccl.ksu.edu hostip=129.130.31.1; nameserver=1 name=hilbert hostip=129.130.30.2; nameserver=2 name=proteon hostip=129.130.1.5; gateway=1 Our config.sys follows: files=40 buffers=20 DEVICE=A:\NFS\PCNFS.SYS DEVICE=A:\NFS\SOCKDRV.SYS device=a:\nfs\pktd.sys device=a:\ansi.sys shell=a:\command.com /e:2048 /p LASTDRIVE=V Autoexec.bat on a:.... @echo off echo Setting up PC/NFS environment.

You can't get there from here.
1) Your telnet package is configured to write directly to the card. That
will confuse the packet driver mightily.
2) Even if your telnet package was configured to go to the packet driver,
you're already running a TCP/IP package, so telnet won't get the handles
it wants.
You have three solutions: Run Sun's telnet, reboot (as you're doing now),
or run Clarkson's telnet for PC-NFS. I don't know exactly how to get it,
but I'm sure it's on omnigate.clarkson.edu somewhere obvious...

I ended up using CUTE (Clarkson University Terminal Emulator) Ver. 2.2TN/NFS-A. It works quite nicely since it was compiled using the PC-NFS Toolkit. It will be available via anonymous ftp (temporarily) in the directory pub/misc on einstein.mpccl.ksu.edu. Check out the file README for more information.
