[HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

Time for a new release announcement of TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS. This is a release that mainly address a couple of potential bugs that have been identified and fixed in the TCP layer. I strongly encourage people to upgrade to the latest version to get these fixes, since they can otherwise cause system crashes. Things that have been done since the last release: TCP: - Several bugfixes which could cause kernel memory corruption under some circumstances. Mostly a problem with slow machines and high volumes of network traffic. DHCP: - Changed DHCP to not print anything in case a plain renewal of the current IP address is done. HTTP: - Bugfix in the HTTP daemon, which could report incorrect times for last modify for files under some circumstances. TELNETD: - Changed code to to explicit push after I/O requests are complete, which improves performance. 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 As Mim is behind a firewall, which at the moment is blocking incoming ftp and telnet (we are working on getting that removed again), an alternative is to connect to Mim as Mim.Update.UU.SE:10021 (for ftp) and Mim.Update.UU.SE:10023 (for telnet). (Guess why the ability to listen to multiple ports for telnet, as well as being able to give a port argument to ftp came about... ;-) ) Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.
