Now when can we get 4.0? :-) [We have a fair number of Annex boxes on campus: something like 7 for the CS department facilities= (faculty, staff, and grad students) alone, and more for other departments in the building: around twice that total. I have no idea how many there are in the CS Center (undergrads) but they are there as well. They generally work well, and we like them; the flush bug has been the only real thorn.] >On top of that, most of 4.3BSD telnet is also included. This is substantially better than the old telnet, though it has been improved again since then. (But since we never use telnet. . . .) -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7163) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: uunet!mimsy!chris
