   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?

Best solution is to run the packet driver, then run Novell and CUTCP over it.

   My configuration is:
     Network Interface Card:  3Com 3C503, I/O=2E0h INT=5 DMA=3 BNC
                                with interupts 0x7A and 0x64

3c503 -n 0x7e 5 0x2e0 1

     IPX.COM :  IPX/SPX Ver 2.15, Etherlink II Version 2.30 Ec

You'll need sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/novell/novell.exe, so that you can
regenerate your IPX to use the packet driver.

     NET3.COM : NetWare Ver. 2.12 rev. A

The below are not needed.

     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

Configure CUTCP's config.tel to run over the packet driver.  Comment out the
other hardware parameters -- the packet driver already knows them.

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

Not necessary.

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

Will you need their permission?  No.  Might you need their help?  Maybe.
You'll certainly need to know your IP address, netmask, and gateway IP
address.  You might be able to figure them out from the R/I software,
but then again, you might not.
