The cabletron card has its own packet driver that I have found to be compatible with NCSA Telnet. But the driver doesn't have a -n option like the Clarkson drivers vers. 9.0, to allow the 8137/802.3 packet conversion to work with dual Novell/TCP protocol stacks. Arrggghhhh! I've told Cabletron that they're welcome to the little snipper of code that implements -n. I'll forward your posting to them, and tell them that Yet Another person wants -n. -russ -- --russ I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
