To: tcp-group@ucsd.edu
Does anyone know of a packet driver which will work with a DEC VAXmate
computer? This is an old 286-class machine with a built-in ethernet
adapter. The DEPCA.COM driver does not seem to work.
Also, I am now running a Digital DEPCA LCi (DE100) ethernet card and cannot seem
to get it to work with the DEPCA packet driver. I have it configured
for a 32K buffer from C800-CFFF using IRQ5.
Any help in getting these two systems running will be greatly
appreciated.
P.S. I was running NOS using an old DEPCA card and the DEPCA driver but
that card was not compatible with my new machine :-(.
Thanks.
Wayne

The DEPCA packet driver, up to version 10, could only operate in 64k
mode. The Very Latest one (V11 if so released) is needed for 32k
mode. I got it in beta several months ago and am very happy with it,
on a DE202.
I believe the VAXmate is electrically like a DE100 DEPCA, but I'm
not certain of the details...

Hi folks,
I am in the process of implementing a four repeater (single freq) link
from a remote city to one that is less so. The distance is approx. 450 km.
I had been seriously looking at TheNet X1H to do the IP routing, but have
discovered a disturbing problem: there are *no* ICMP checksums generated!
The ICMP checksum is set to 0 (zero). JNOS seems to ignore this, but
better implementations of TCP/IP do not. I had originally thought this
was a UNIX bug, but I have been *forcefully* reminded that ICMP checksums
are a required part of the protocol.
My questions are: is this a known problem? is the source for TheNet
available for debugging? are there better implementations for tnc-2 clones
to perform ip routing?

BTW Athabasca: what freq. do you run packet on???
