NCSA Telnet 2.3b6
1) Drivers update
The following is an update on the status of the internal Telnet drivers.
For the PC Bus,
Name Board Works??
-------------------------------------------------------------
atalk *Apple Talk No
packet *Packet Driver Yes
3c501 3COM 3C501 Yes
3c503 *3COM 3C503 Yes
pcnic Ungermann-Bass PC-NIC Yes
wd8003e Western Digital WD8003E Yes
wd8003eb Western Digital WD8003EB Yes
ni5210 MICOM NI5210 Yes
For PS/2 MCA bus,
Name Board Works??
-------------------------------------------------------------
nicps/2 Ungermann-Bass NICps/2 Yes
3c523 3COM 3C523 Yes
wd8003a Western Digital WD8003EA Yes
ni9210 *MICOM NI9210 No
The ??? indicate boards that are buggy. Please test them out and report
back to us.
2) ftp shell escape fixed
3) ftp -h parameter correctly reconized
4) EGA tek emulator fixed
5) VGA tek support added
BUG FIXES FOR NCSA Telnet 2.3b2:
1) Appletalk driver better (may not be quite right yet, but it is now
at least compiled into the executable correctly).
2) Client mode fixed from Microsoft C 5.1 port. Now works correctly
in binary mode.
BUG FIXES FOR NCSA Telnet 2.3b3:
1) Alt-E escape to DOS no longer results in stack overflow.
2) Addition of macros for shift-function key combination
(Shift-f1 through Shift-f12)
The shift-function key combinations can now be mapped to user-defined
strings. Twelve new keywords have been added to config.tel, one for
each function key (f1,f2,f3,....,f12).
To assign a macro string to a function key:
<key>=<string>
where <key> is one of the new keywords and <string> contains your
macro.
The following key sequences are used to generate special characters
in your macro. They follow the same style as the C programming
language and may seem strange if you are not familiar with C.
Desired Character Definition
----------------- ----------
Backslash (\) \\
TAB \t
CR LF \n or \r
Space \032
Number of text rows \#
Internet number of PC \i
The \xxx string, where xxx is a number between 0-255, will send that
character to the the host, e.g. the Space key above.
If your macro string contains spaces, then the string either
has to be encased in quotes or the space should be coded as
a special character.
e.g. f1="ftp \i\n" and f1=ftp\032\i\n are functionally identical.
BUG FIXES FOR NCSA Telnet 2.3b4:
1) Drivers update
The following is an update on the status of the internal Telnet drivers.
For the PC Bus,
Name Board Works??
-------------------------------------------------------------
atalk *Apple Talk ???
packet *Packet Driver Yes
3c501 3COM 3C501 Yes
3c503 *3COM 3C503 ???
pcnic Ungermann-Bass PC-NIC No
wd8003e Western Digital WD8003E Yes
wd8003eb Western Digital WD8003EB Yes
ni5210 MICOM NI5210 Yes
For PS/2 MCA bus,
Name Board Works??
-------------------------------------------------------------
nicps/2 Ungermann-Bass NICps/2 Yes
3c523 3COM 3C523 ???
wd8003a Western Digital WD8003EA No
ni9210 *MICOM NI9210 No
The ??? indicate boards that are buggy. Please test them out and report
back to us.
2) Terminal type negotiation.
Telnet can now send its terminal type a host. The default terminal
type is "dec-vt100." It can be changed with the termtype option in the
config.tel file, e.g.
termtype="vt100"
will cause telnet to send the string "vt100" instead of "dec-vt100" to a host.
3) Telnet to "other port" works with Domain lookup
Previously, attempting to connect to a port on a machine requiring a
domain lookup resulted in a connection to the Telnet port and not the
specified port.
Now the sucessful lookup will result in the connection to the specified port.
BIG FIXES FOR NCSA Telnet 2.3b5
1) 3c523 Driver fixed.
2) Additional keystrokes added to Scroll Lock mode
Home -> Beginning of Line
End -> End of Line
Cntl+PGUP -> Top of Scrollback buffer
Cntl+PGCN -> Bottom of Scrollback buffer
3) External TCP/IP Utilities
The following utilities now work with the new drivers and
keyboard mapper. If NCSA Telnet works these should also
work.
ftpbin.exe -> ftp client & server
minitel.exe -> a very simple telnet program
Network Printing Utilites contributed by Paul Hilchey.
lpr.exe, lpq.exe, lprm.exe.
4) 3c503 driver fixed.
The 3c503 board allows the software to determine whether
thin or thick Ethernet is being used. Therefore, telnet needs
to be told what type of wire is being used. A new config.tel
keyword "wire" has been added. Its usage is shown below.
wire=thin ; this is the default. Telnet will use thin Ether
wire=thick ; Telnet will use thick Ether
5) Keyboard Mapper bug fixes.
CAPS LOCK no longer blocks control and ALT characters.
NUM LOCK now maps the keypad correctly.
6) Keyboard Mapper addition. The keyboard mapper now addresses all the keys
on the 101 key (extended) keyboard. There is an extra map which has been
added to the already existing five keyboard maps (NORMAL, LEFT SHIFT, RIGHT
SHIFT, ALT, and CONTROL). The extra map is for the extended keys, these
keys are only generated by the extended keyboard. The extra map consists
of 89 pairs of integers (one for each key), and is in the same order as
the other maps (see the README file for details). The order of the maps
is now : NORMAL, LEFT SHIFT, RIGHT SHIFT, ALT, CONTROL, and EXTENDED.
7) ftp excepts full pathnames for changing directories. It requires that
you type a double backslash for each single backslash in the path name
however, i.e. "c:\\dos" for "c:\dos". You may use a forward slash '/'
for the backslashes in MS-DOS path names also, i.e. "c:/dos" for
"c:\dos".
8) Ungerman Bass PC/NIC driver is fixed.
9) Western Digital 8003A Microchannel Card fixed.
