Subject: Problems Obtaining Telnet 2.0 Source
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,
-Kari

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.

Subject: PC-Telnet 2.1 ports to other Ethernet boards?
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...
