test it. You can use the standard Windows telnet program, Putty,
Linux, or whatever you have handy.
Around 10 users can be on at the same time. When you sign on (no
password required) there will be a little menu to help you waste
some time. Some things you can do are see who else is on the
server, view the machine type, ROM BIOS date and DOS version, check
the TCP/IP statistics to see how much traffic it is handling, etc.
There are some upgrades since the last time I ran this test (in Dec
2007):
- The TCP/IP stack is much better
- I'm doing 'telnet' negotiation to figure out the terminal type,
turn echoing on, etc
- Crude line editing has been added
Right now it is running on my PCjr using a Xircom PE3 10BT. I plan
to leave it up as long as it runs, or three days, whichever comes
first. It is a PCjr so if there is a momentary delay, don't panic -
it's probably just doing disk I/O.
I just tried it. Wow...that is just plain NEAT. Nice work, Mike!
