Well, it's been a long time project, but I'm
happy to finally
announce a more public initial release of TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS.
This is very impressive. Even for bqt@, this is very impressive.
If you happen to have an RSX system which you are
conneting from, you
can also try getting the BQTCP.TAP tape image. Such an image will not
transport cleanly to a non-RSX system, however.
I'm curious: why wouldn't it? Do the FTP client and server recognize
one another, or is it more "will not transport cleanly to a system not
implementing $OBSCURE_FTP_FEATURE", or what?
I hope some people will find this useful/amusing. :-)
I won't find it useful personally, at least not in the near future; I'm
not running RSX. And I wouldn't call it amusing. I'd call it other
things, such as "impressive" or "awesome". I'm tempted to pick up
the
code just to read it over, as I'm sure there's a lot I could learn from
it, but I doubt I'll have the leisure to indulge that inclination
anytime soon. :-(
