There are two features that "bug" me -- rsh is renamed rshl and rcp is renamed rcpy (these are due to a name conflict in the Xenix mail (Micnet?) stuff). The Telnetd seems to be buggy in that it seems to cook everything. I can't find a way to force a raw and talking though my dealer to Inteerlan doesn't produce any result beyond "the price of an upgrade package is $xxx". The telentd thing is a nuissance; for example ^S and ^Q get translated to the literal chars that I just typed. So xon/xoff is disabled in a nasty way. I tend to use rlogin when I can since it (rlogind) works better. Keep looking tho. I believe source is available (like from Gnu) for many tcp/ip utilities. Hope this helps. -- Travis Bissett NSTAR conferencing site 219-289-0287 internet: tbissett@nstar.rn.com 1300 newsgroups - 8 inbound lines uucp: ..!uunet!nstar.rn.com!tbissett 99 file areas - 4300 megabytes --- backbone news & mail feeds available - contact larry@nstar.rn.com ---
