One feature I'd like to see on WinQVT/NET is the ability (like in NCSA Telnet) to open a session on a machine un- specified in the config.tel analogue (I forget the file- name) by simply hitting a key combination (or clicking on a menu item) and typing an IP number or a host name. Maybe theres a way to do this already, but I have yet to discover it. Its kind of annoying to have to go into note- pad to edit the file every time you want to log onto a new host. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd also like to see the ability to open more than one connection at a time. This wouldn't be too hard using different software interupts or something in the driver. -Charles winstead@faraday.ece.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon

Sometimes, when I try to conncct as a telnet or ftp, I get no response. The other running sessions are fine. Then I start another ftp, connect, but login: and password: come out twice, i.e. like the current window is ftp'd to two different sessions?! bizzare. I can only get to one of them, the one ftp gives me. I am not sure what the problem is though. What to add? Add lpr and rsh to the pull down menu. Allow the qvt_tcp.rc to be saved when changes are made via the running program. /*----------- Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------+ | Peter C.

Here are a few features that I think would make the next release of WinQVT/NET better: 1. Have a slow-paste switch. Some mainframes can't accept pasted text at TCP/IP speeds. Most terminal emulation packages have a way to adjust the pacing for ascii uploads, which is exactly what a paste in WinQVT/NET is. I can still do it in NCSA Telnet by diabling Fast Paste in the PIF file. 2. Support the alt-T command. In NCSA Telnet this command sends a standard FTP initialization string to the main- frame (ftp -n pcip). This would be a perfect complement to v. 1.5's FTP server capability. (Come to think of it, I'll probably end up programming one of my function keys to do this.) 3. Have Alt-A bring up the Telnet Services dialog box. I suppose I've gotten used to NCSA Telnet. Anyone else think of more stuff to add? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been brought to my attention that this thread has been crossposting to sci.chem, so when following up to this thread watch your Newsgroups line! Another feature: Map ctrl-2 to ctrl-shift-2. To set a mark in emacs, ctrl-2 works in NCSA Telnet and Procomm, but not WinQVT/NET. The actual com- mand is ctrl-@. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How about selectable fonts in the FTP and NNTP sessions, including being able to select any font installed in the system? Geesh, I just about go blind when those HUGE characters jump up on my screen. I'd like to see the NNTP reader work more like nn. After using rn and vnews extensively, I'm absolutely spoiled on the way nn works. I'm still trying to figure out how to get WinQVTN to startup and automatically open a session to a specific host. Maybe there is no way, but I'd like one. How about some cool 3d buttons for Telnet/FTP/News accross the top of each window. This would eliminate the need to go searching for the QinQVTN control session icon, maximizing it, selecting session/Telnet/hostname. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * RUCS/User Services * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got winqvt/net to test out a few days ago and on first impressions the only thing that I would like is for a much faster scroll ability. I have tried this program in 640x480x16 640x480x256 800x600x16 and 800x600x256 modes on my ATI card. The video is quite fast at the lower resolutions and the 16 color stuff but winqvt/net is still incredibly slow a scrolling within its own window. WHY? BTW, I'm on a WD8003 thin wire ethernet and a 386/33 with 8Mb. Kevin -- Kevin "auric" Crocker Athabasca University UUCP: ...!{alberta,ncc}!atha!kevinc Inet: kevinc@cs.AthabascaU.CA

We have tried WinQVT/Net and liked it, but there was
the usual problem: national characters, in this case the
danish keyboard-driver. Using the 'AltGr'-key results in
several characters and not only the one we wanted to.
Another point is that we sometimes are using a danish version
of the ASCII-characterset where [\]{|} are replaced by some
danish characters. We'd like to have the possibility to
convert these to the 'real' characters in the ANSI-set.
Of course it's not nice, but the only way to get the
national characters with a 7-bit characterset.
