Well, NCSA Telnet is broken!

Our Telent is a little unusual:

Normally, under DOS, we have a packet driver call IPXPKT that sends
Telnet and FTP stuff over Novell's IPX. Then a gateway sends it to
the destination.


I installed the Netware requestor, which provides IPX connections
to DOS sessions, and I load the packet driver, and then start telnet.
At first telent runs, and I can even login to the Suns, but the connection
soon goes bad. According to Telnet, it claims "network jammed" or "break
in connections". However the LAN is fine. So the packet driver must be
getting killed somehow.

We have Arcnet on our Novell LAN, but the requestor doesn't have Arcnet.
The Trxnet option seems to work instead, but that may be what's causing the
problem. (I won't hold my breath for proper Arcnet drivers for the card)

On a side note, the Novell requestor has caused an avalanche of
problems for DOS/Windows programs. Windows might start from
a DOS prompt, but not from a desktop icon. Programs have DOS versoin
problems where they didn't before...Has anyone had anything similar happen?
