The problem is due to the way NCSA and CUTCP TELNET/FTP access the packet driver. An alternative program from QPC Software (Penfield, NY) gets around this problem by providing a TSR interface to the packet driver, with their TELNET/FTP equivalent software accessing this interface. QPC Software's package is called WinQVT/Net. It is a shareware program in version 1.30. TELNET with vt52/vt100/vt200 emulation and FTP are provided. I just began using it last week and, other than having to setup a host table (doesn't do DNR) it works okay. I would like to see better fonts and Tektronix graphics terminal emulation, but it is very usable in its present state. WinQVT/Net is available from cica.cica.indiana.edu <129.79.20.22>. As with all shareware, make sure you pay for it if you decide to keep using it. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CCIS * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
