First of all, way cool project. I'm in now with a
couple different
clients (Windows and PuTTY in raw mode, showing the echo you
mentioned.) Is anyone unable to route to this IP? I'm on Comcast
cable and in fine, but a local friend with AT&T DSL shows no route to
that host, which is a bit odd. You're on Charter (cable, I think?) so
it's not like you're some offshore spamhaus. Then again it could
just be him. Weird.
I'm using Qwest DSL, and have no problems reaching The Mighty
Peanut. We tried a couple of WinXP telnet and PuTTY sessions. I
noticed that the WinXP telnet client was listed as "ANSI" and the PuTTY
client was listed as "XTERM". I had to use Shift-Backspace or CTRL-H
to backup on PuTTY. The Win client worked fine with the backspace key.
I don't have any way to really pound the little peanut, but I did just
sit on
my RETURN key for a while, and let the peanut try to send the HELP
message as fast as my RETURN key would repeat. Seemed to hold up
just fine. Well done, Mike!
