- This file contains the current list of bugs which have been reported to us
- (The Developers & Telbug). Along the left hand side are the current status
- and whether the bug has been fixed for the next beta release. The format of
- this file is a little terse because it is mainly an internal document for
- corrdinating or debuggin. When reporting a new bug, please report what
- beta release version you created the problem with, include your config.tel
- file, and try to duplicate the error and report exactly what you did when
- you created the error. Other useful information for our debugging
- includes: the list of messages on the console screen, what type of machine
- you were trying to connect to (Sun, VAX, etc...), and what operating system
- it was running (UNIX, VMS, Ultrix, etc...). We have access to a lot of
- machines here, but if we cannot duplicate your error, a lot of time gets wasted.

- Working on it: Fixed: Known Bugs:
- CGW 1) Tektronix GIN mode is not fixed yet.
- 9) Pasting with linemode doesn't print.
- 10) Check bug report about ftpbin hanging
- when default data port for ftp is used.
- CGW 12) Check into the tek bugs.
- 32) Make telnet understand ph protocol(?).
- 40) Add domain name stripping to domain
- lookup (?) (i.e. ncsa.uiuc.edu gets
- stripped to uiuc.edu and tried again).
- 42) Grab PCPOP. (128.102.18.13)
- 43) Check into multiple connections with
- domain nameserving.
- CGW 51) Grab the lpd server for telnet
- from ogre.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.22.178)
- in tn3270iu.zip.
- CGW 53) Check into LPTX utility on simtel which
- will re-direct the output from LPT1:
- 62) Add line in the config.tel to be able
- to negotiate the window size.
- 71) Telnet connection to Cyber 910 memory bug.
- 77) Enhance the vt100 emulation to support
- double width and double height characters.
- 95) Check whether the cursor is being
- reset when shelling to DOS.
- 96) Add code for inserting characters in
- VT100 mode.
- 99) Add an option for clearsave=always
- where all characters get saved.
- 103)Telbin ftp server doesn't handle disk
- full errors?
- 116)Write a VGA mono display driver.
- 119)Check into PC-NFS compatibility.
- 121)Check vt100 problems with insert character
- stuff.
- 123)Get ega43 working correctly on a
- VGA machine.
- 133)rcp file transfer has problems?
- 134)LPR won't send two or more files at
- the same time?
- 149)Get the SLIP driver working.
-
- Random Good Ideas:
- 1) Change bell tone.
- 2) Add support for two windows at once in vga 50 mode.
- 3) Keymappings for each session
- 4) Scripting for telnet connections.
- 5) Chain together kermit verbs attached to one key (also with strings attached)
- 6) Have a way to '#include' other files into the config.tel
- 7) Dynamic keymapping from within telbin.
- 9) Some way of reseting the ftp server!
- 10) Better control over rcp than "on" or "off", use a rhosts file!
- 11) Change the telnet alt commands to verbs, i.e. alt-a for add session, etc.
- 12) Better status reporting for ftpbin.
- 13) BOOTP/RARP information caching in a DOS environment variable.
- 14) Support the 3com networking driver.
- 15) Change the way the the carriage returns get mapped.
- 16) Various people have asked for more screen drivers, so perhaps if a lot
- of people ask for different screen drivers for tektronix plots, we will
- add another screen driver or two.
-
- Possible enchanements:
- 1) Change the 3c503 to use non-DMA access.
- 2) Telnet for the blind options.
-
- Definite Plans for version 2.4:
- 1) VT200 emulation.
- 2) Tektronix 4105 emulation.
- 3) MS Windows native application for Telnet.
- 4) Appletalk board update.
- 5) Text windowing interface for the MS-DOS version.
-
- Vague Ideas for version 2.4:
- 1) NFS client.
- 2) Easy interface to Berkeley Sockets for programming.
- 3) Smaller, faster executables.
- 4) Add support for fragmented IP packets.
