Recently picked up v2.0 of the NCSA Telnet for PC. I'm
having some troubles with it. The manual says to submit a bug
report, but conveniently omits the address for submission. Two
questions:
********************
Does anyone know the bugs-report address for the National
Center for Supercomputing Applications?
********************
Second: Here's a list of my bugs so far. Anyone else experienced
these?
BUG 1: FTP client does not get small ascii files correctly.
If the file is 513-nnn ("nnn" appears to max out around 2k or
so), the file will not get from the server correctly. It
will be terminated at 512 bytes. Larger files do not seem
to have this problem.
BUG 2: The server mode doesn't. It won't answer requests for
ftp or rcp (yes, I have them turned on), and won't even
ack a ping request.
Looks like NCSA still has a bit of work to do. It'll be great
stuff, though, when they get it finished. I had TCP from Gold
Hill, and this beats the blazes out of that. (It's also free.)

I also have a small complaint that it is not configurable enough. You can't specify the IO port address?? Where is it by default?? Other than that the documentation is great. -- Michael A. Shiels (MaS Network Software) mshiels@orchid.waterloo.EDU UUCP: ...path...!watmath!orchid!mshiels

Bruce,
Many thanks for talking to Bill Fifer, it will help the Embassy
people. Yet again I have been defeated by arbitrary financial micro
management! I do not understand how the military expect to develop
highly automated and advance C3I systems, if they won't fund
demonstrators in supporting base technology like Packet Radio.
I hope you enterprise is thriving in these uncertain financial times
Cheers,
Brian.
