[comp.sys.mac] Telnet 2.1e Bug?

alan@metasoft.UUCP (Alan Epstein) (04/29/88)

much talk has focused on the AT portion of telnet. we're having
a little difficulty with the mac interface and i'd like to hear
from people who may have experienced the same.

we've got numerous mac II's, SE's and Pluses using telnet,
connected via K-Box to a Sun. everything works fine until you
connect on the Mac II's which have 4 Meg. Frequent 'Bus Error'
crashes occur in random places, especially when using other programs
like LightSpeed C, and Design/2.0. However these are just the
most frequently used products i use, and i have heard of crashes
which don't involve them.

one of our users recently upgraded from 2 Meg to 4 Meg on his
mac II and started experiencing these crashes.

the solution is to reboot after running telnet, and this works
in every case, though it's annoying.

anyone have these problems, or insights?


PLEASE SEND REPLIES VIA E-MAIL. i'll post a summary if i get
interesting responses.

thanks.
