[comp.sys.novell] NCSA Telnet, BYU IPX, Packet Drivers

similler@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Stephen I Miller) (02/20/91)

I am trying to use the packet driver version of NCSA Telnet with the
new Clarkson Packet Drivers ver. 8.x and Netware 2.15 and I am not
having much luck.  Here's what happens.

I got the files needed from BYU to generate an IPX.COM that will look
for a packet driver and not for a particular card.  I generated the
IPX, got the new 8.x packet drivers from Clarkson University and gave
it a try.

First I type 3c523 -n 0x62 3 0x300 0xc000.  This executes the packet
driver for my 3Com EtherLink/MC card and brings back the message

Packet driver for the 3c523, version 8.1.2

Packet driver is at segment 254C
TDR: Ok
Interrupt number 0x3 (3)
I/O port 0x300 (768)
Memory address 0xC000 (49152)
My ethernet address is 02:60:8C:1B:A2:3B

I then execute IPX and get the following text

Novell IPX/SPX v3.01 Rev.A (900507)
(C) Copyright 1985, 1990 Novell Inc.  All Rights Reserved.

LAN Option: Packet Driver V2.00 (890315) BYU Copyright 1989
Hardware Configuration: Packet Driver Interface. Find Interrupt.

I then execute NET3.  When I execute NET3 my computer hangs up and I
have to reboot.

I have and IBM PS/2 70 with 8MB of memory, 3Com 3c523 ethernet card.
Does anyone have any ideas what my next step should be?

Unfortunately, the -n switch is broken in the 8.x release.  I will be issuing
a 9.x release as soon as I can.
