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

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...)
