- TermiteTCP V1.10 Copyright © 1996 Oregon Research
-
- Thank you for purchasing TermiteTCP. Please take the time to read all the
- information in this file. It contains important information, corrections,
- and additions to the TermiteTCP manual.
-
- The following is a description of features that have been added to Termite TCP
- after the manual was printed.
-
- Technical Support Phone Number
- ******************************
- A mistake was made in the technical support phone number listed on page 4 of
- your user manual. The correct number is (503) 968-9250 current technical
- support hours are 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM MWF
-
- Login Settings
- **************
- PAP/CHAP User Authentication
- ****************************
- Many systems offer(and some require) the use of automated user authentication
- protocols. TermiteTCP offers support for PAP(User/Password Authentication
- Protocol also known as UPAP) and the less common CHAP(Crytographic Handshake
- Authentication Protocol). If available, you should use PAP because your
- logins will generally be faster using PAP than though a script based login.
-
- To use PAP or CHAP, select the PAP Username/Password submenu option from the
- Settings|Login menu. If using PAP, then enter your user name and password in
- the PAP UserName and PAP/CHAP Password gadgets. CHAP only requires a password
- in the PAP/CHAP Password gadget. For security, your password is obscured
- while you are typeing so type carefully. Remember that usernames and
- passwords are CaSe SeNsItIvE. Select Use to accept your entries.
-
- To connect with PAP/CHAP all you need to do now is click on the Connect gadget
- of the status window.
-
- No login script is required when using PAP or CHAP (except possibly for a
- delay command after connect) and you do not have to execute the Record Login
- Script procedure.
-
- Script functions moved
- **********************
- The Record Login Script and Edit Login Script functions have been moved.
- They are now accessed as submenus from the Settings|Login... menu.
-
- Login Script Command: DELAY
- ***************************
- Some ISPs are slow in responding to certain actions. The DELAY command is
- prevents login script commands from executing too quickly. For instance,
- many systems require a slight delay after connection but before a wakeup
- character is sent.
-
- The argument is the number of seconds to delay before executing the next
- script command. A DELAY 0 command is automatically generated as the first
- line of the script when using the Record Login Script procedure.
-
- Connection Settings
- *******************
- The Connection Settings Window has been broken into two windows with the
- minimum required information on the basic screen and addtional options
- accessed through the More button gadget. The More/Fewer options operate
- just like described in the Network Settings portion of the manual.
-
- MTU
- ***
- This new option specifies the largest number of bytes to be transfered
- at once. MTU stands for Maximum Transfer Unit. The default size is 1500.
- Some ISP's will request/require a MTU other than 1500 and this value will
- be negotiated during login with your ISP.
-
- In general the default will yeild the best overall TCP performance.
- However, there are some circumstances, like an interactive telnet session
- where large numbers of small packets are exchanged, where a smaller
- MTU can result in better performance.
-
- Verification Interval
- *********************
- This new option specifies the time interval that TermiteTCP will test your
- ISP connection. After the specified number of minutes has elapsed, TermiteTCP
- will test the connection. If the connection has failed for some reason(phone
- line dropped, etc.), then TermiteTCP will automatically redial the phone and
- reconnect to your ISP.
-
- Tooltype support
- ****************
- Support has been added for specifying configuration information via tooltypes
- specified in the TermiteTCP program icon. To edit the tooltype settings,
- click on the TermiteTCP icon and select Information from the WorkBench Icon menu.
- The following Tooltypes are currently recognized:
-
- AUTOCONNECT
- TermiteTCP will automatically connect to your ISP when the program is
- launched if this tooltype is set to TRUE.
-
- AUTOICONIFY
- TermiteTCP will automatically iconify to your WorkBenchconnect if
- this tooltype is set to TRUE.
-
- NULLMODEM
- If this tool type is set to TRUE, it will supresses the warning message
- if you attempt to connect with no phone number entered in the Connection
- settings. This is useful if you are intentionally making a direct
- serial connection to a local host via the serial port.
-
- FTP Transfer Buffer Size
- ************************
- A new option has been added to the Termite FTP General Settings Window.
- This option controls the maximum size of the file transfer buffer. It is
- useful if you want to limit the memory is allowed to be used for FTP file
- transfers. The default value of zero(0) means no limit. Termite FTP will
- use as much memory as available(up to the size of the transfered file)
- during file transfers.
-
- Troubleshooting
- ***************
- It has come to our attention that some new PC based ISP's require the remote
- IP address be something other than 0.0.0.0 at the start of the address
- negotiation phase. If the message in the status window says LCP: Up and then
- proceeds to cycle through IPCP: CONFREQ and IPCP: CONFREJ followed by a
- Termite TCP message saying that we were unable to negotiate with your host,
- try settign the remote IP address to something other than 0.0.0.0
- (1.1.1.1 for example).
