As Larry Allen mentioned in his message about TFTP retransmissions, we do have a completely new tftp for 4.2 and we'll be shipping it with the next PC/IP release (I'll send in a note about that when it's ready). BTW, Larry wrote/ported this TFTP. The TFTP implementation is also available via anonymous ftp from borax.mit.edu:/pub/tftp.tar. This TFTP doesn't have any of the problems that Larry mentioned in his message. There are a couple of potential drawbacks: we've only run the server under Berkeley's inetd; I don't know if it works without it. The TFTP user also doesn't have the FTP-like interface Berkeley did for their TFTP user. - John Romkey
