<em>Notice: In some of the previous chapters, I announced
|
||||
my plans to use an old i286/12 MHz box,
|
||||
having only 1 MB of RAM, running DOS 5.0, as a
|
||||
'telnet client' computer. That box has a network
|
||||
card so I would like to 'connect' to the
|
||||
BBS from that one 'telnet client' box. If that
|
||||
succeeds, it would be a good preparation for
|
||||
installing another LinFBB (in the local school

BBS simultaneously, using a bunch of vintage
|
||||
'telnet client' DOS computers.</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First of all, I have been looking for networking software that
|
||||
does not require much of hardware resources. Several hams
|
||||
keep advising me to try this or that way, but Jose, CO2JA,
|
||||
sent me his distribution copy of <bf>NCSA Telnet</bf> utility.
|
||||
According to its own <em>howto</em> document, that is
|
||||
actually a <bf>"NCSA Telbin DOS client"</bf>, being <bf>"used
|
||||
at The University of Port Elizabeth (Sep '94)"</bf>. So far
|
||||
about software's earlier "official" usage.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Well, it seems that NCSA TCP/IP kernel only runs on packet
|
||||
drivers now. That's why I looked for appropriate packet drivers
|
||||
for my old ISA network card, equipped with the UMC's UM9003AF
|
||||
chip. <bf>CZ20000.COM</bf> packet driver seemed to be the
|
||||
most suitable one.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Before implementing the driver I also needed the proper diagnostic
|
||||
utility to check and/or modify NIC's IRQ and I/O address in order to avoid
|
||||
possible hardware conflicts (you know, under DOS it is less easier
|
||||
to resolve interrupt hardware conflicts case a user has several ISA
|
||||
cards that are not of P'n'P type /as PCI cards are/). It seemed that
|
||||
<bf>DIAG.EXE</bf> ("The Ethernet Adapter Diagnostic Program,
|
||||
Ver. 2.13" - that comes with E1000 and E2000 series Etherent cards)
|
||||
was fully capable to handle my card's parameters, so I choose the
|
||||
values of IRQ 5 and I/O 320 that weren't occupied by other resources.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Then I could execute the following DOS command:
|
||||
|
||||
<tscreen><verb>
|
||||
cz2000 0x60 5 0x320
|
||||
</verb></tscreen>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
in order to activate the NIC.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now the configuration file CONFIG.TEL should be modified
|
||||
in order to satisfy my particular needs, including local (DOS client) and
|
||||
remote (Linux server) IP addresses etc. In a couple of minutes
|
||||
that was finished so the main executable <bf>TELBIN.EXE</bf>
|
||||
successfully started running on my old 286 DOS box.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you want, you may put <bf>cz2000 0x60 5 0x320</bf> and
|
||||
<bf>telbin</bf> commands into a dedicated <em>TELNET.BAT</em>
|
||||
file in order to make your telnet utility easier to activate. Should
|
||||
you plan to use your old DOS box for only accessing the
|
||||
Linux FBB server, both lines may be added to the
|
||||
<em>AUTOEXEC.BAT</em> startup file.
