Johnny,
Again thanks for your efforts on BQTCP/IP.!!!
I do have one minor request. Could you supply a compiled task image for PCL?
I've been try to install PDP-11C on my 11/83 but the only .TPC tape that is not
corrupted is V1.1 and although I have installed it on Simh, my 11/83 needs a .tap tape not
.tpc and I have been trying to convert with TPC, but I don't have it done yet.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Mark

About four months since I last announced anything. There have been various development
since, and I figured I should encourage people who are using BQTCP/IP for RSX to upgrade
to the latest release.
A short list of changes:
TCP:
. Small bugfixes in various states.
. Bugfix in window handling. TCP reception could occasionally accept data outside of
window.
. Added ability to dynamically change transmit and receive buffer size.
. Bugfix. SYN packets could result in lost pool if sockets were closed with outstanding
SYN packets queued.
. Bugfix. If pool is full, system could crash on incoming connections.
FTP:
. Added SUMMARY, PROMPT, MGET and MPUT commands.
. Improved filename parsing and handling for mapping between local and remote filenames.
. Bugfix. FTP would abort if a long file transfer took place, since the command channel
had a timeout.
. Much improved progress line for file transfers, including ETA and delta between
updates.
FTPD:
. Bugfix. If a file transfer was followed by an immediate close of the connection, the
file could be left in a locked state.
. Expanded time stamp information in directory listings to include seconds.
TELNET:
. Bugfix in telnet options processing.
TELNETD:
. Bugfix in telnet options processing.
IFCONFIG:
. Added commands for setting default and maximum allowed tcp transmit and receive buffer
sizes.
RMD:
. Added information on task page about UDP connections.
TRACERT:
. Added /NUMERIC switch
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
I believe the state of the code is now good enough that I expect there will be fewer
updates to the basic networking drivers in the future. I plan to find some new protocols
to work on next, and also improve some of the current clients and servers as the need
arises.
(On a different note, Madame.Update.UU.SE is now a CNAME for Mim.Update.UU.SE, making the
naming of the machine consistent between DECnet and TCP/IP, in case someone wonders why
the name have changed...)
