Optimization Query. Message-ID: Date: 13 Dec 89 15:29:00 GMT Sender: news@trantor.harris-atd.com Organization: Harris Gov't Aerospace Systems Division Lines: 32 Does anyone know of a way to get NCSA Telnet to use 43 line ega display? Also any optimization wisdom would be appreciated. I've experimented with the suggested parameters for an LAN given in Chapter 6 of the manual, but I still get an occasional: ICMP: Redirect, another gateway is more efficient. message. I'm sure this has to do with my gateway assignments or perhaps my "netmask" in config.sys, but I've fiddled with these (We are a class B subnet, so I set netmask to 255.255.0.0). I know that the client will adapt, but I'd like to fix it. I've used both NCSA and PC/TCP for a short while now, and find that I like them both for different reasons. PC/TCP is a very nice collection of UNIX-like LAN utilities. All of its terminal emulations include a "-43" option which allows nearly a page of text to be viewed on the screen (Even more dense options are available, if your eye sight is up to it :-). Still, the commercial PC/TCP product does not seem to have multiple telnet session capability, like the public domain NCSA Telnet, nor does PC/TCP have tektronix compatibility. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M.
