- I know this has been reported before, but either there was no
- acknowledgment, or I missed it. Here's the problem:
-
- Occasionally, my SE running multifinder, hangs in the middle of a telnet
- session. I'm running the Kinetics Etherport SE, and inits
- like Suitcase and MFMenu. I was running Pyro for a screen saver, but
- noticed the hangs were more frequent when Pyro kicked in. I also
- tried autoblack, but had the same experience. I also run Powerstation.
-
- Other things that cause hangs are heavy floppy use, and background printing.
-
- All this led us to try fiddling with "keepalive" in our telnet demon, but
- that after turning keepalive off, there was no observable effect. The
- theory was that the processor wasn't able to respond quickly enough to
- keepalive messages, and so the host was dropping the connection. That now
- doesn't seem to be the case.
-
- The host is (of course) and Encore Multimax, running the Mach OS. We
- observe the same problematic behavior on (UMAX) 4.2 BSD.
-
- Any thoughts on this one?

- Subject: suggested improvements
-
-
- I've been using NCSA telnet version 2.0 and quite like it (especially
- the 4014 emulation).
- I'd like to suggest a couple of improvements: 1) The zooming
- is ackward to use. It would be alot nicer if the cursers could
- be used to define the region to be zoomed, 2) Panning would also be nice,
- 3) Support of a remote printer spooler would be very useful, and 4)
- I like rlogin better than telnet in a UNIX environment because it tells
- the remote system the terminal type whereas telnet doesn't. If this
- can't be added to telnet then a version of rlogin is desirable.
- If there is a newer version of telnet available, please let me know.
- Thanks.

- Subject: Two applications using IP
-
- I'm not sure how the stuff is layered but I understand that if one application
- is using IP, then a second application is blocked from doing so.
-
- At least if we run MacIP (a Stanford IP package), then we cannot run NCSA
- telnet, and vice versa. Is this a feature of how this stuff works, or just
- a bug in the implementations?
-
- Thanks for any info or documentation pointers,
-
- Bill

- [ Ed. Note -
- [ The reason for this is that the Mac has no standard TCP/IP yet and
- [ since there is no good IPC, it is nearly impossible for programs to
- [ share low levels. Because of this, and the fact that TCP/IP requires
- [ listening to particular protocol addresses, the Mac can only run one
- [ TCP/IP at a time...

- Subject: File input to NCSA telnet/ftp
-
- I have a user who wants to automate the login portion of his telnet/ftp
- sessions so that his program can use telnet/ftp to connect to another machine
- without human intervention. Can this be done with the 2.1 distribution stuff?
