My apologies if this topic is a sore point for some of you. Their abrupt

Does anybody have any insight on what is going on there? The web site has

A new mTCP version is available. Besides the usual bug fixes I've also
added support for a proper local hosts.txt file. See the full list of
changes in the release notes.

Release notes:
I'm using debug logs to try to debug flow control issues when using mTCP
and a packet driver that presents itself as Ethernet but actually uses
ARCNET. I've gotten to the point where I just want to have an Arcnet in
the house. Especially since I might just modify mTCP to work with Arcnet

Join us on August first for a virtual VCF event!
We can't safely meet in person so we are going to do what we can online.
The good news is that you can tune-in via YouTube and ask questions of the
presenters via email, enabling anybody in the world with a modest Internet
connection to participate.
Jim - I agree. In the grand scheme of things this is not a big deal. Life
goes on.
On the flip side, this should serve as a reminder for people to sign up and
participate in these events instead of sitting on the fence. Doing things
in real life can require a lot of effort, and those things oft
