- Revision History:
-
- 4/14/93
- This is still MacPPP 1.0 (same code) but now with
- new-and-improved documentation from Susan R. Harris.
- The documentation and get info fields now have the officially
- sanctioned copyrights. I also got rid of the scammed icon
- and changed it to be an original design that I did while
- at the PPP Consortium meeting in Sunnyvale (10/92).
- Actually, I got the idea from a design in the PacBell
- phone book in my hotel room. Its supposed to be two phones
- if you can't tell (so much for my artistic talents).
-
- I'm still working on the code when I have time, but I'm not sure
- when I'll be coming out with the next release.
-
- 1/5/93
- 1.0 final release
- Fixes:
- -30 second timeout for modem connect was causing problems.
- -Bumped the timeout up to 90 seconds. Also increased timeout
- on waiting for dialog strings from 20 to 40 seconds.
- -Lower case AT commands causes problems on certain brain-dead
- modems. Switched to upper case commands.
- -File locking on System 6 machines caused problems when
- trying to start PPP while the control panel was open.
- -Insufficient input buffer for serial driver caused rx overruns
- when running above 19200 on slow Macs (SE's, Plus's, etc.).
- Increasing buffer size from 384 to 1024 solved problem.
- -Netmask was always set to 255.255.255.0. This caused
- problems when assigned a Class A or Class B address with a last
- octet of 0. (MacTCP assumed it was a broadcast address
- and thus invalid).
- -IPCP Config Requests with the old style VJ option were
- dropped rather than rejected. May add support in next release
- for the old style option.
-
- New Features:
- -Added the current states of PPP options to the Statistics
- window in the control panel.
- -Changed buffering scheme to reduce system heap space
- required by about 5K ( now allocates ~16K at startup).
-
- 12/2/92
- 1.0beta Release 1
- Fixes:
- -Problem in LCP which caused the data field of all
- options in config requests to be FF's.
- -IPCP did not do option rejects correctly ( did not
- duplicate option contents ).
- -phone num, modem init, and dialog strings could
- overrun stack when parsed.
- -terminal emulation did not handle backspace characters.
- -Control Panel did not save value of "Default id" field
- in LCP options dialog.
- -Open/Close button events could put PPP in unexpected states.
-
- New Features:
-
- -added <CR> check boxes to Connect Config dialog.
