TermiteTCP V1.10 Copyright © 1996 Oregon Research
Thank you for purchasing TermiteTCP. Please take the time to read all the
information in this file. It contains important information, corrections,
and additions to the TermiteTCP manual.
The following is a description of features that have been added to Termite TCP
after the manual was printed.
Technical Support Phone Number
******************************
A mistake was made in the technical support phone number listed on page 4 of
your user manual. The correct number is (503) 968-9250 current technical
support hours are 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM MWF
Login Settings
**************
PAP/CHAP User Authentication
****************************
Many systems offer(and some require) the use of automated user authentication
protocols. TermiteTCP offers support for PAP(User/Password Authentication
Protocol also known as UPAP) and the less common CHAP(Crytographic Handshake
Authentication Protocol). If available, you should use PAP because your
logins will generally be faster using PAP than though a script based login.
To use PAP or CHAP, select the PAP Username/Password submenu option from the
Settings|Login menu. If using PAP, then enter your user name and password in
the PAP UserName and PAP/CHAP Password gadgets. CHAP only requires a password
in the PAP/CHAP Password gadget. For security, your password is obscured
while you are typeing so type carefully. Remember that usernames and
passwords are CaSe SeNsItIvE. Select Use to accept your entries.
To connect with PAP/CHAP all you need to do now is click on the Connect gadget
of the status window.
No login script is required when using PAP or CHAP (except possibly for a
delay command after connect) and you do not have to execute the Record Login
Script procedure.
Script functions moved
**********************
The Record Login Script and Edit Login Script functions have been moved.
They are now accessed as submenus from the Settings|Login... menu.
Login Script Command: DELAY
***************************
Some ISPs are slow in responding to certain actions. The DELAY command is
prevents login script commands from executing too quickly. For instance,
many systems require a slight delay after connection but before a wakeup
character is sent.
The argument is the number of seconds to delay before executing the next
script command. A DELAY 0 command is automatically generated as the first
line of the script when using the Record Login Script procedure.
Connection Settings
*******************
The Connection Settings Window has been broken into two windows with the
minimum required information on the basic screen and addtional options
accessed through the More button gadget. The More/Fewer options operate
just like described in the Network Settings portion of the manual.
MTU
***
This new option specifies the largest number of bytes to be transfered
at once. MTU stands for Maximum Transfer Unit. The default size is 1500.
Some ISP's will request/require a MTU other than 1500 and this value will
be negotiated during login with your ISP.
In general the default will yeild the best overall TCP performance.
However, there are some circumstances, like an interactive telnet session
where large numbers of small packets are exchanged, where a smaller
MTU can result in better performance.
Verification Interval
*********************
This new option specifies the time interval that TermiteTCP will test your
ISP connection. After the specified number of minutes has elapsed, TermiteTCP
will test the connection. If the connection has failed for some reason(phone
line dropped, etc.), then TermiteTCP will automatically redial the phone and
reconnect to your ISP.
Tooltype support
****************
Support has been added for specifying configuration information via tooltypes
specified in the TermiteTCP program icon. To edit the tooltype settings,
click on the TermiteTCP icon and select Information from the WorkBench Icon menu.
The following Tooltypes are currently recognized:
AUTOCONNECT
TermiteTCP will automatically connect to your ISP when the program is
launched if this tooltype is set to TRUE.
AUTOICONIFY
TermiteTCP will automatically iconify to your WorkBenchconnect if
this tooltype is set to TRUE.
NULLMODEM
If this tool type is set to TRUE, it will supresses the warning message
if you attempt to connect with no phone number entered in the Connection
settings. This is useful if you are intentionally making a direct
serial connection to a local host via the serial port.
FTP Transfer Buffer Size
************************
A new option has been added to the Termite FTP General Settings Window.
This option controls the maximum size of the file transfer buffer. It is
useful if you want to limit the memory is allowed to be used for FTP file
transfers. The default value of zero(0) means no limit. Termite FTP will
use as much memory as available(up to the size of the transfered file)
during file transfers.
Troubleshooting
***************
It has come to our attention that some new PC based ISP's require the remote
IP address be something other than 0.0.0.0 at the start of the address
negotiation phase. If the message in the status window says LCP: Up and then
proceeds to cycle through IPCP: CONFREQ and IPCP: CONFREJ followed by a
Termite TCP message saying that we were unable to negotiate with your host,
try settign the remote IP address to something other than 0.0.0.0
(1.1.1.1 for example).
