I would like to get responses from others on the net regarding their
use of topsTerm - in particular - has anyone successfully ran 
the TCP/IP part with the "configure by hand" option.

I have downloaded the software, unencoded it, unarchived it, placed the
files in the appropriate folders, and rebooted the MAC (an SE with
a Kinetics Etherport SE board - which is running NCSA TN just fine, system
6.02, finder 5.5).

Since I have no KIP gateway, I select the above option, and enter my IP 
address.  This creates the TOPS memory file which is placed in the system
folder.  Anytime I boot the system with this file in the folder, the Mac
crashes with a system error of ID=2.

I have tried this with a "barebones" folder and the results are the same.
I have downloaded the software twice, just in case I got a bad bit somewhere,
but the results are the same.

Any suggestions from other users would be appreciated.  If this is a 
common problem, I'll summarize for the net.


Sincerely,
