The version of the Telnet/iX Server released with MPE/iX Release 5.5 had
several functionality restrictions that were documented in the MPE/iX 5.5
Communicator article, "Telnet/iX Server Functionality Details." The
Telnet/iX Server included with this MPE/iX release is now fully functional.
The purpose of this article is to update the information from the MPE/iX 5.5
Communicator.
Changes from the MPE/iX 5.5 Telnet/iX Version
- FControl and FDeviceControl behavior for this version will function as
documented in the Asynchronous Serial Communications Programmer's
Reference Manual.
- All Block Modes and Binary Mode are now supported.
- Type-ahead is now supported.
- The maximum number of concurrent Telnet Sessions has been raised from
250 to 2000.
- The TLNETDOC.ARPA.SYS file has been updated with information for the
Telnet/iX Server, and is included in this patch.
- The Telnet/iX Server now supports all of the Telnet commands that
require interaction with the Server.
In addition to the commands open, send break,
send AYT, send IP, send EC, send EL,
quit, and close that were supported with the MPE/iX
5.5 version, this version of the Telnet/iX Server also supports the
toggle and mode commands.
You should be aware of the following points when using the
toggle and mode options:
- toggle
The Server was written to assume the user is always right. This
means that if you do a toggle echo to allow the client to
do all the echoing, the Server stops echoing and leaves all
echoing to the client. However, if you then run an application on
the HP 3000 that enables echoing, there will be a double echo on
your display.
- mode
- Line mode for the HP 3000 server was implemented to be
consistent with the HPUX 9.0 Telnet product. Neither of these
line modes comply with the RFC-1116 line mode standard.
- We recommend that you do not use line mode when running block
mode applications on the HP 3000. This may cause the
applications to operate poorly.
