eps@toaster.SFSU.EDU (Eric P. Scott) (05/03/90)
The following files are in the pub subdirectory on sutro.sfsu.edu: telnet.Z NeXT executable telnet.1c.Z man page, also included in the following: telnet-src.tar.Z Source files and manual page These are derived from the 90.03.01 saveset on ucbarpa.berkeley.edu. This is the "4.4 BSD-ready" version 5.45 of BSD telnet. (4.3-tahoe includes 5.33; NeXT ships 5.16) This version supports RFC 1116 linemode telnet, window size subnegotiation, terminal speed subnegotiation, .telnetrc files, and more. Linemode capability has been successfully tested against a Cray Y-MP running UNICOS, and the other "new" functions against MultiNet for VAX/VMS. (It's soooo nice to have an alternative to rlogin!) The full Berkeley distribution also includes a slick new telnetd, but, alas, it requires kernel modifications that only NeXT can install (hint, hint, hint, hint). Hence I am only redistributing the client side. I encourage you to rename or back up NeXT's /usr/ucb/telnet /usr/man/man1/telnet.1c /usr/man/cat1/telnet.1c (if you have it) before installing the newer versions. -=EPS=-
