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:

                94) Weird stuff with server mode.

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.

Things Which Still Need To Be Crammed In:

1)    All the bugs above.
2)    Appletalk driver will get fixed.
3)    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.
4)    Overlaying the code so that Telnet will take up less memory.
5)    Maybe update the telpass interface.

Possible enchanements:
1)    Change the 3c503 to use non-DMA access.
2)    Telnet for the blind options.
