A Beta Test version of NCSA telnet V2.2C is now available via anonymous FTP

This is the readme file from that directory.

A uuencoded compressed tar file of the binaries is also available by mail:
	% mail  archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu
	Subject:  send  ncsabin.tar.Z.uu
        (206Kbytes long)

Version 2.2C is a highly modified copy of NCSA Telnet version 2.2
It has been recompiled under Turbo C 2.0, supports the Packet Driver
interface, 43 Line mode EGA, domain name search paths, BOOTP, connecting
to a specified destination port, internal random FTP password, enhanced
directory listing under FTP, display clock and a host of other enhancements.

This version was developed independently of NCSA, please do not bother them

a future possibility)

PCtelnet2.2c.ascii.Z   You should read this first for a detailed
		description of changes. This is version 2.2 documentation
		with margin comments describing the new features.

ncsabin.tar.Z   contains the binaries for telbin.exe, telpass.exe 
		(ftpbin.exe is not included due to a serious bug)

ncsasrc.tar.Z	contains all the source (for Turbo C 2.0)

config.tel	a sample config.tel file (is included in both tar files)

readme		This file.

NOTE!: Both tar files are binary images of the PC source. Thats good
for ncsabin.tar, but bad for ncsasrc.tar. If you untar the source
on a unix system you'll have to strip off trailing CR's and a ^Z at the
end of each file, unless you do a binary copy to your PC.


Known bugs:
	currently  ftpbin.exe can not upload to a host w/o crashing.

The best new feature in this version is support for the Packet Driver
interface (from FTP Software). Some packet drivers are available from
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu  in the file  comm/drivers.arc
This version has been tested with the following packet drivers:
	ni5210
	ni5010
	3c501

The second best feature is support for BOOTP. This is a method
whereby the client PC can get information from a server about its
IP address, gateway, nameservers and netmask. You should read
RFC1048 for detailed information.  

I would appreciate comments and bug reports. This version is currently
in use at Clarkson University in our public terminal areas (hence Bootp).
