As for Telnet and TFTP, they do not apparently work well on a Mac+, since there was no such thing when I wrote them. (I *tried* to get advance HFS documentation, but Apple apparently refused to give it to anyone except commercial developers!) CMU has made the minor changes needed to make the thing run properly, and their version is still effectively public domain; I believe the proper address to write to for updated version information is chandhok@gandalf.cs.cmu.edu (Rob Chandhok). There is also a new version just out from Stanford/Cornell, but it is available to universities only. It is based more on the original MIT PCIP than on mine, but I assume they've used some parts of Mark Sherman's work and mine in developing it. Information from croft@russell.stanford.edu (Bill Croft). Finally, I am working on a supported version here at Centram in Berkeley; it should be available for beta test in January. The chief advantage, other than support, is that the protocols present a driver-like interface; you can write your own protocols without having to link in my protocol code, so you can give (or sell) your protocols to anyone you like. Also, I am making it easy to add support for your own network interfaces and your own terminal emulators and the like through a standards mechanism. The design of the standards mechanism and the protocol "driver" support layer has been the chief delaying factor, but it's come out even better than I'd hoped. -- Tim Maroney, Electronic Village Idiot {ihnp4,sun,well,ptsfa,lll-crg,frog}!hoptoad!tim (uucp) hoptoad!tim@lll-crg (arpa)
