The BYU version of NCSA Telnet has been updated to version 2.3.3 and is available by anonymous ftp from "bert.byu.edu" or "bert.cs.byu.edu" (128.187.2.20) in the "NCSA_Telnet" directory. The latest sources have also been posted there, including source for LightSpeed C v3.01. We also plan to make it available on "zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu" if possible. VERSION 2.3.3 problems & improvements... 1. Problem reported by Ted Nieland of Control Data Corporation (25 Jun 1990): Session one: A telnet session to a host Session two: A FTP client session to same host as session one. Start a MGET from session two. Switch to session one. After the current file gets finished in session two, session one turns into a ftp session and the further requests from the MGET go to it and subsequently fail. Status: Fixed. 2. Requested improvement from Russell Owen (31 Aug 1990): Implement a way of opening an ftp session purely from the keyboard; either by bringing up the Open Session... dialog box with "ftp" already checked (e.g. by cmd-option-O), or by allowing some key command to toggle the "ftp" check box. Status: Done: Command F now toggles the "FTP Session" check box. 3. Problem reported by "PWF@vx.acs.umn.edu": During the option negotiation between NCSA Telnet and the Multinet server an '!' exclamation mark keeps on appearing before the Username: prompt. Status: Fixed, and fix reported to NCSA. 4. FTP client "mget" function not working on Mac II FX (timing problem) and with connections to certain hosts. Fixed. Many thanks to the folks at NCSA for their fine work, help, and cooperation. Regards, jim loganj@yvax.byu.edu loganj@byuvax.bitnet

I am an undergraduate Computer Science student who is considering setting
up an appletalk network connecting a number of macs in our dorm. We are
interested in the least expensive way of doing this, and would like some sort
of system that does not require a dedicated file server (such as TOPS). I
would appreciate any help and information on how to set up such a network,
where to buy the necessary cables at the lowest prices, and other necessary
procedures. Thanks in advance.

What are the advantages of BYU telnet as opposed to stock NCSA?
