When I telnet into a NeXT across the net, I have had problems with it
just printing a nl rather then a nl/cr at the end of each line.
stty everything showed that -nl was set.
(which should output CR-LF for carriage return or new-line)
stty -extproc seemed to fix the problem.
I looked through the man pages for stty and tty(4), but didn't see any
mention of the -extproc flag. Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks,
Andrew

Does anyone know what it is? extproc is "external processing"--it's a (new) feature of pseudo- terminals necessary to support linemode telnet (RFC 1184). Next Software Releases 2.0 and 2.1 ship with the 4.3-reno versions of telnet and telnetd. These are BROKEN, telnetd rather severely. There have been two subsequent official Berkeley releases. I have ported the most recent versions to the NeXT, and fixed all the bugs I know about. telnetd is done, but I'm still playing with the telnet side. I should have something ready for release Real Soon Now. If you absolutely can't wait until then, send me private e-mail. --> If you only have 2.x-Crippled (no compilers) don't bother. --> Ditto if you're not on Internet with "connected" status. -=EPS=-
