[comp.sys.novell] Looking for Drivers

starner@ISF.Unisys.COM (Mark Starner) (01/15/91)

Sure hope *someone* can help me out....

I need a Netware 2.15 driver for a 3COM 3c501 Etherlink card, an Excelan EXOS 205T card.
(neither of these are included)

Also, if anyone has a packet driver program for the above mentioned Excelan card....

I have tried to call the vendors, but cant seem to get the right person... so if
anyone has a phone number for this kind of support for Excelan or 3Com, i'd appreciate
it.

I'm stuck until i get these.

Thanks

As far as I know, there is no packet driver for the EXOS 205T, nor is anyone
working on one...

The 3c501 driver does indeed come with NetWare.  There's also a 3c501
packet driver available.

The 205T driver is available from Excelan.  There is no 205T packet
driver, but Excelan sells TCP/IP software including telnet that
runs on their card simultaneously with the Novell code.  So you get
the same effect.

check the novell netwire forum on compuserve (GO NOVA).  one of 
the libraries there has a bunch of third party drivers.

In fact, for those of you that aren't aware of it, Excelan was swallowed up by Big Red
about two years ago.  Excelan drivers are supported by Novell, and Novell will soon be
shipping TCP/IP software based on ODI (sorry, Russ!) drivers, for any card that supports
that driver.  It will no longer be downloaded to the card, though :-(.
