Re: TCP/IP Connectivity to UNIX machines




For those interested, here is how I connect my 750 to a UNIX box with
a 3Com Ethernet PCMCIA card and free/share software.

Step 1: get the following software:

NCSA Telnet from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
MS Lan Manager software files: protman.sys, netbind.exe, protocol.ini
   (I can't figure out which site I got these at, but I have the zip
   file, it is called protm11.zip)
Packet driver: dis_pkt9.zip from oak.oakland.edu, or comes with kermit
   from watsun.cc.columbia.edu
Windows shim: twsk20b.zip from oak.oakland.edu or comes with kermit
XFS from lwfws1.uni-paderborn.de
NDIS driver (comes with your ethernet board)


Step 2: install the packet driver as follows.


C:\CONFIG.SYS:
--------------------------------------------------------
...stuff deleted...
rem autodrv stuff is unnecessary for this config.
device=c:\tcp\protman.sys /i:c:\tcp
device=c:\3com\elpc3.dos
device=c:\packet\dis_pkt9.dos
--------------------------------------------------------


C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT:
--------------------------------------------------------
...stuff deleted...
c:\tcp\netbind
c:\packet\winpkt 0x60
--------------------------------------------------------

C:\TCP\PROTOCOL.INI:
--------------------------------------------------------
[PROTMAN]
DriverName=PROTMAN$

[ELPC3]
DriverName=ELPC3$
MAXTRANSMITS=10
PCMCIA_ENABLER=YES

[pktdrv]
drivername=ELPC3$
bindings=elpc3
intvec=0x60
--------------------------------------------------------


Step 3:

To get telnet and ftp, configure "config.tel" to get NCSA Telnet
running, as per documentation.  To mount Unix disks on the DOS box,
configure "init" and "hosts" as per the XFS documentation.
