In the past I have used the Clarkson University Tcp Communication Package
and Terminal Emulator [CUTCP/CUTE] on a tcp/ip ethernet network.

Now I am on a Novell Network.  In order to connect to our Unix machines, I
use a Racal-Interlan software product.  It loads the NetBIOS emulator, issues
a gateway attach command for my server and then runs a telnet command which
includes novlcom and a DEC VT220 terminal emulator.

But I don't like the DEC VT220 emulator, and it doesn't do a Tektronix
graphics emulation like CUTCP/CUTE.

So I downloaded the drivers from Clarkson University to see if there might
be some way for me to use the Clarkson University telnet, but it's not
clear how.  Do I load the NetBIOS and then use the nb.com driver or do I
use the ipxpkt driver, and do I need the 3C503 driver, do I need to issue the
gwattach command, or what?

My configuration is:
  Network Interface Card:  3Com 3C503, I/O=2E0h INT=5 DMA=3 BNC
                             with interupts 0x7A and 0x64
  IPX.COM :  IPX/SPX Ver 2.15, Etherlink II Version 2.30 Ec
  NET3.COM : NetWare Ver. 2.12 rev. A
  NETBIOS  : Novell Network BIOS Emulator Ver. 2.10,
               with interupts 0x5C and 0x2A
  GWATTACH : Racal Interlan TCP Gateway Ver. 1.0
  TELNET   : Racal Interlan Ver. 1.4

I wouldn't mind having two boot configuration files if I had to.

Will it be necessary for me to consult with the network supervisor in
order to get this to work?
