I am now using NCSA TELNET 2.3b12 and machines communicate fine, ie no intermmittent disconnections so far. However, I am still getting slow file transfers ( < 50Kbytes/sec), and am trying to trace this down. One thing which may be related, but I can't fix, is that when I do an LPR, the message "warning: packet driver incorrect, using default search" appears, and the file is sent off and printed. I am using "hardware=packet", and the address and ioaddr are set as per the LPR_MAN.DOC file. TELNET, however, does not give this error message, but may be aided by finding out what I'm doing wrong with LPR.. (???) Thanks for any ideas, Michael Williams ******************************************************************************* Michael Williams University of Arizona's Division of Neural Systems, Memory, and Aging Internet: michael@synapse.nsma.arizona.edu

I have posted a new beta release to our anonymous ftp server, ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50) which helps the transfer speed problem. Appended is the update for the new beta release. (b13) Quincey Koziol NCSA ================================================================================ BUGS FIXES FOR NCSA Telnet 2.3b13: 1) 3c505 driver added to release. Use in the standard manner for hardware boards. 2) BICC driver added to release. Use in the standard manner for hardware boards. 3) Bugs with the ftp server in telnet & the standalone ftp client/server should be fixed. This should prevent them from locking up at random times. 4) Standalone ftp client/server now uses the colors set in the config.tel file. Known Bugs: Please see the BUGS file in this directory. Things Which Still Need To Be Crammed In: 1) All the bugs above. 2) A VGA monochrome screen driver. 3) Overlaying the code so that Telnet will take up less memory. 4) Maybe update the telpass interface. 5) Enhance the vt110 emulator to support double width & double height characters, and the printer toggle switches. Please keep the bug reports coming in. pctelbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu
