I am looking for wish lists items, bug reports, and ideas for the next release of mTCP.
The current version is about six months old now. I haven't had too many bug reports so there has not been a great need to update it. That is also the release that FreeDOS 1.1 chose to use, so it has seen quite a wide distribution. (Close to 1,000 downloads were recorded at the hosting site, and that doesn't count the FreeDOS users.) The following things are going into the next release already: - Xmodem and Ymodem file transfers through Telnet - Misc telnet fixes (new line handling, telnet binary mode, etc.) - Reduced FTP server memory utilization (30 to 40kb) - A minor PING fix (the outgoing packet length was too long) - Additional documentation: a detailed guide to using PPP over serial (including setting up the Linux gateway) Here is what might happen depending on how much effort I can put in: -A first pass at a Gopher client. (Started, but not usable yet) -LPR (remote printing to network printers using Unix/Linux LPR queues) - A "setup" style program for configuring the mTCP configuration file - A diagnostics program to look for packet drivers in memory and report their details (Started) - Library routines and a sample program to send email using SMTP - TCP library - implement Karne's algorithm for timeout and retransmitting packets If you have an idea let me know. I can't get to everything, but if the idea is good it will definitely get priority. Small tweaks to the existing code are always possible to. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
