-
-
- Greetings. I am having a bit of trouble downloading the source for version
- 2 of the telnet stuff. I connected to ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu using anonymous ftp
- at around 8:30pm pdt on 11-10. I got to the PC directory and located the
- compressed source. Now, I was able to get "most" of pcniu2.tar.Z before the
- server closed the connection because of a time-out.
-
- The machine I was working from is fast and I had adequate storage. I wonder
- if the download was slow because of the symbolic links at your end (are you
- using a remote mount - that can slow things up and introduce other problems...)
- or something else. I've never had problems accessing the stuff from the old
- uxc.cso.uiuc.edu machine.
-
- We're pretty eager to get a hold of the source and other stuff. We're very
- impressed with what we have seen so far. Please let me know if there is
- anything I can do at this end to facilitate matters.
-
- Thanks,
- Austin Shelton, Workstation Support, UC Berkeley

- Are the telnet sources available yet? I purchased the version 2.0 disk
- from you but found no sources on it. I have not been able to connect
- to your computer for anonymous ftp but this is probably ARPANets
- fault.
-
- Bug report: We have not been able to make "ftp enabled: no" in the
- configuration file work. ftp is always enabled.
-
- Keep up the good work,
-

- Subject: closing sessions...
-
- One of our staff members here accidently hit command-K instead of
- control-K a couple of times and ended up killing his sessions. He
- brings up the issue - should a "Close Session" be considered a
- "dangerous" command that should force a dialog box to come up.
-
- I have mixed feelings about this, but submit it as a possible
- modifications to be made.
-
- I agree with the basic comment about the flashing screen too. It gets
- really annoying when you're on a system that "beeps" at the end of
- page like TOPS-20. I think that making the screen flash only if it is
- a background screen is a good idea. An alternative might be to bring
- it to front for a second...

- Subject: NCSA Telnet 2.0 log file
-
- The ftp log window tells what transactions are occurring, but does not
- say who has a connection to the Mac. If this information is available
- (even if it is only a socket number or remote host id) it would be
- useful in identifying unwanted intruders. Also it would be nice if the
- contents of the ftp log would scroll and if the user had control over
- how much information was saved.

-
- If anyone is working on (or has completed) driver ports for either the
- older MICOM/Interlan NI5010 board, or the (LANCE-based ?) VAXmate, I'd love
- to hear from you ...
-
- Thanks.

- Subject: tabs - destructive or not
-
- Tabs in NCSA Telnet are non-distructive. I am not positive, but I believe
- they are expected to be on VT100s...
