Fargo) Subject: CMU PCIP, SOS, and packet drivers: A Sad Story Message-ID: Nntp-Posting-Host: iear.arts.rpi.edu Organization: Fargo HQ, Inc. Date: 22 Mar 91 05:17:50 GMT Lines: 25 I just recently got Clarkson's packet drivers and CUTCP running perfectly over a SLIP line to the local netwrok here. I'd like to try and get CMU's PCIP package running. I found a package on sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/ka9q/pcippkt.arc, which, I guessed from the name, was PCIP for use with the packet drivers. Now when I go in and customize NETDEV.SYS, I find no information about setting up the packaet-driver inter- face (ie. what interrupt number, etc.). So I loaded NETDEV.SYS, loaded my packet driver, SLIP8250.COM, and tried ping. All I got back was an error message entitled, "Packet driver not loaded". Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I also found on sun.soe.clarkson.edu, the file sos_pkt.exe, which claims to be an NFS server for DOS that uses packet drivers. There is no documentation that came with it, and the documentation that came with pcip_sos.arc contain- ed info on how to compile the package, but nothing else. Can someone help me here? Thanks. -- Thank you and happy hunting! Actually: Ethan M. Young Internet: fargo@iear.arts.rpi.edu Please press 1 on your touch tone Bitnet (??): userfp9m@rpitsmts.bitnet phone to speak to God...
