NCSA Telnet Digest Saturday, 7 January 1989 Volume 2 : Issue 14 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Subjects: 3Com 3+ NOS ScrollLock suggestion Assembler and Novell compatibility with v2.2 Commercial availability from InterCon Tek Crosshair (GIN) mode on PC ------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 1 Jan 89 07:27:54 PST From: jqj@hogg.cc.uoregon.edu Subject: PC Telnet and 3Com 3+ Does anyone have experience running NCSA Telnet on a PC that is also configured with 3Com's 3+ NOS? Is it possible? What are the restrictions? [ I haven't tested this, it will probably require a new low-level driver for NCSA Telnet. 3Com has convinced me that it can work. Tim K.] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 3 Jan 89 15:50:17 CST From: david@wubios.WUstl.EDU (David J. Camp) Subject: Improve Alt+N Behavior Please I would like to be able to use Alt+N while I have ScrollLock enabled. Often I am looking at something from one session (which has scrolled off the screen) and need to type something into another session. Instead of simply pressing "Alt+N Alt+N" to switch back and forth, I must press "ScrollLock Alt+N Alt+N ScrollLock PgUp PgUp", etc. I think this would be a great improvement if implemented. -David- *-------------------------------------------------------------------------* | (314) 362-3635 Mr. David J.

I would really appreciate it if anyone has that stuff avail for anon ftp, if they would let me know so I could get it. It would make life a lot easier. Thanks.

Because use is increasing, I've been tasked to make some improvements: (some from Tim K's suggestion list) lpr, mail, and support for nov3com under 2.2. I have an lpr program I wrote for the masscomp which does single files, and I have the 2.1 nov3com driver source (if only I had the "right" assembler and compiler...). If anyone out there could be of any help (like if you had any of these sitting around :-) ), it would save me lots of time.

Baumann) For those of you out there who have been looking for a commercially supported version of NCSA Telnet, its here.

Camp) Subject: TEK14 Crosshair Mode I tried to use the TEK14 crosshair mode (from the S language) on NCSA_Telnet. It locked up that session completely, but Alt-X worked. Is there a correct way to do this? -David- *-------------------------------------------------------------------------* | (314) 362-3635 Mr. David J.
