Well, we're getting there.

I have PC/NFS working with the Clarkson packet drivers.  I have NCSA Telnet
working with same (all the way to 2.3b8).  That's fine.

What isn't fine is that I can't manage coexistance.  I have tried the NCSA
version from Clarkson that is supposed to work with PC/NFS, and all I get is
a hung session when I connect (it does initialize properly).  Curiously
enough, I can hit <ALT>M a few times and get on, but it appears that no
processing is taking place until I go away from the display screen!

Needless to say, this is a real bummer.

Does anyone have any ideas for coexistance on these?  I'd really like to be
able to use NCSA Telnet and PC/NFS simultaneously, 'cause the Telnet that
Sun supplies with PC/NFS stinks to high heaven, and some of our users really
want things like the Tek mode and 3270 capability....

Ideas or further suggestions solicited.
