From: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu (Charles Hedrick) Subject: KA9Q version 7: SLIP bug fixes and mget/mput Date: 21 Sep 1992 05:29:45 GMT
I've uploaded ka9q version 7 as ka9qsrc.7.tar.Z and ka9qbin.7.tar.Z.
It's in /pub/linux on cs.rutgers.edu, and incoming on tsx-11.mit.edu.
Changes in this version:
- a bug fix for compressed slip. If you're using SLIP with
V-J header compression, make sure you get this. It fixes a
problem that caused packets to be corrupted when there was
more than one connection at a time. This would particularly
affect X usage.
- mget and mput comments in FTP, to transfer multiple files at
a time.
This version has the Ethernet code from version 6, but my guess is
that people with Ethernets will now be better off using the beta of
kernel TCP. From reports in the mailing list, it sounds like KA9Q is
still better for SLIP.
The binary distribution has a static linked executable and the source
pieces necessary to install Ethernet support in the kernel. Note that
this support conflicts with the support for kernel TCP, so please
don't try to put both in.
This was compiled under 2.2.2, not 2.2.2d. (I wanted to get mget
working so I could retrieve the various files needed for 2.2.2d.)
