Thanks for the report. I hadn't thought about that scenario. Hmm. I
guess I need to make TELCOM always use the same space no matter how many
terminals you use, to make it easy to change the number of terminals
easily. (The size currently changes depending on the number of terminals.)
Yes, for now, you'll need to rebuild TELNETD, sorry. I'll work out a fix
for it, to be included. Thinking about it, I wonder if I couldn't just
create TELCOM on the fly instead...
Thanks, some work to do here, I realize.

Johnny,
I installed this version of your code and had a problem with
TELNETD. Because I had changed the number of supported terminals (from
10 to 4) I got
INS -- Length mismatch common block TELCOM
while trying to install TELNETD. Looks like you?ll need to rebuild it as
part of the install.
John.

Well, about two months since my last announcement, and some
improvements have been done, so I figured I should do another one.
I've cut a new release of TCP/IP for RSX, and I encourage everyone to
update to this latest release.
A short list of changes since my last release:
TCP:
. Performance improvements. TCP timers have been redesigned for better
performance. This gave FTP a performance increase of about 15$.
. TCP negative ACK detection has been improved.
, TCP receive packet handling have been redesigned for better
performance, and better code structure.
. Added guards against data received after FIN.
. Bugfix in SPOOF hostname printouts when filter was cleared.
. Bugfix in tcp timers that could cause a close to take a very
long time to clean up.
FTP:
. Bugfix in user verification code which could cause program
to crash. This affected ftpd.
. Changed ftp and ftpd to create files without max record length when
dealing with binary files.
TELNET:
. Added exit handler to telnetd, so that telnetd cannot be aborted
while active sessions exist.
HTTPD:
. Improved webserver handling of binary files.
As usual, the distribution is available from:
ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk
ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap
ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk
The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at
http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc
Note! I've realized that BQTCP/IP do not work right if you have a
PDP-11/74 with multiple processors online. I'll fix that at some point,
as it's probably just a case of affinity not being set on devices, nor
relevant processes. This might only be a problem with telnet in fact.
I know for sure that the IP and TCP drivers works ok in multiprocessor
systems.
