I'm looking for a few people to connect to a small 'server' I am running
to help me test my TCP/IP for DOS. It can be reached at:
telnet 24.159.200.228 2023
It does not do telnet parameter negotiation so echo and line editing are
dependent upon your particular telnet client. I've found that the
standard telnet client in Win XP does local echoing, Win 2K does not do
local echoing, and Linux does local echoing with local line editing. If
something doesn't work just try it again without any extra whitespace
chars or backspaces.
For the sake of traffic on the list, please use discretion when replying
to this - obviously stuff of general interest should be posted publicly ..
Some background on the project:
I've been writing my own TCP/IP for DOS machines since around Nov 2005.
Everything except the packet drivers that I am using is new code that
I wrote for this project. I was busy with other things the last eight
months and I'm finally getting back to working on it. (The last round
of testing was in late Dec.)
The development machine is a 386-40 using Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS. The
code runs reasonably well on my PCjr. Eventually I want to do a telnet
BBS. A Linux box is tracing incoming and outgoing traffic in case I
need to debug something that crops up. The test is running on the 386
today because I am doing extensive tracing in the code as well.
This particular test code accepts connections from up to 9 clients and
lets you play around with some simple commands. The idea is to exercise
the TCP/IP code with multiple concurrent connections, so please excuse
the simple interface.
Thanks!
Mike
