- Don't give up on the telnet feature just yet! The latest sources at the
- UK site that was posted before fix the telnet bug (I can verify this). The
- binaries have not yet been released there. However, I compiled the binaries
- from those sources myself with GCC 2.3 a couple weeks ago, and have had no
- problems with the telnet to all the sites that used to make it bomb on me
- before.
- I wrote to the person who did the port for the source, and apparently he
- is more active on the local UK nets than here on Usenet (from the sounds of it)
- since the source is available, I don't think there would be a problem with
- me uploaded to a.archive the binary that I compiled with that source?
- I'll only upload the net.ttp binary (archived of course) since the entire
- rest of the package, including the docs, have remained the same.
