Sure - I suppose I've just surprised that there isn't already
something in the public domain that can't flood a system, generate
bogus/corrupt packets etc. in order to test a stack out; it still
wouldn't catch all bugs of course, but might give a faster response to
most problems than asking the list. Re. testing, is there any way to write something
that runs on remote
systems and just hammers the network stack / telnet interface on the
PCjr, or does nothing like that exist already? It seems like so many
TCP/IP stacks have been written for various machines over the years
that it surprises me nobody's come up with a solution for automating
some of the testing.
Testing exercises what the test writer expects to break.
I've tested
quite extensively already, but every once in a while I need to get
outside help to try to break things in new and exciting ways.
