[comp.sys.novell] DIS_PKT for Novell: Source problems:

srb@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Sreedhar Barakam) (02/05/91)

	I have tried to connect to ftp.com.  What is the username to be given
	here?  anonymous or my e-mail address do not work; not even "guest".
	I wanted to download DIS_PKT for novell.

	Also I have got KA9Q and NCSA Telnet.  Once I get DIS_PKT I think
	I will have complete package to install TCP/IP for novell network.
	If anyone could give me the steps needed to be taken to integrate
	these 3 packages, I would greatly appreciate.  Please e-mail to:

	srb@beach.cis.ufl.edu.

	Thanks.  Sreedhar.

Ahh...you may have things a little confused here. There is no "DIS_PKT
for Novell". Dis_pkt.dos is FTP's Packet-Driver-to-ndis driver adapter and
currently there isn't any Public Domain Netware driver that'll run on it
(I'm ahead of some of you, the BYU Netware Driver *dosn't* work with
dis_pkt).

Dis_pkt isn't a Netware driver, it's an NDIS driver (like Novell's ODI,
the biggest difference is NDIS is a success, ODI is a flop).

If what you are trying to do is run ka9q or ncsa and Netware, you need The
Clarkson Packet Drivers and the BYU Netware Driver....you don't need
dis_pkt and you have no need to run on an ndis driver. 

You can obtain both the packet drivers and BYU shell from sun.soe.clarkson.edu,
anonymous login with your name as the password will get you on (works with
ftp.com too).

BTW: The text files in the Clarkson distribution go into alot of detail in
how to "integrate" Netware and tcp-ip.
