| Linus Torvalds | 1da177e | 2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | NCSA telnet doesn't work with path MTU discovery enabled. This is due to a |
| 2 | bug in NCSA that also stops it working with other modern networking code |
| 3 | such as Solaris. |

| 8 | There is a fixed version somewhere on ftp.upe.ac.za (sorry, I don't |
| 9 | remember the exact pathname, and this site is very slow from here). |
| 10 | It may or may not be faster for you to get it from |
| 11 | ftp://ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/msdos/telnet/ncsa_upe/tel23074.zip |
| 12 | (source is in v230704s.zip). I have tested it with 1.3.79 (with |
| 13 | path mtu discovery enabled - ncsa 2.3.08 didn't work) and it seems |
| 14 | to work. I don't know if anyone is working on this code - this |
| 15 | version is over a year old. Too bad - it's faster and often more |
| 16 | stable than these windoze telnets, and runs on almost anything... |
