The name for the GPL release is still a little uncertain, it should be decided this afternoon. This is the first GPL release of such software from Cyclades and they are still deciding on which name best describes the functionality of the product.
Description: Network Serial port client software for Cyclades terminal servers This is the client for network serial port emulation via the RFC 2217 protocol as used by Cyclades terminal servers and other products. It consists of a daemon that manages a pseudo-tty and a shared object to take over the tcsetattr() and tcsendbreak() library calls to redirect their functionality over the network. Licence: GPL I am pre-announcing this because of the great interest when this was discussed before, everyone seemed to want tcsetattr() over the network and no-one had coded it. Since that time I wrote the code under contract to Cyclades and am now able to give it away. If anyone wants a pre-release version then please let me know. Also the product currently appears to have a severe bug on Solaris. One of the hopes of this GPL release is that someone on the net may find this bug and submit a patch. If some user of the GPL version submits a patch fixing a bug in the Solaris version then it would be a great support for the release of GPL code (I would like to give them the idea that the first thing to do when stuck debugging a program is to release the code under the GPL rather than have code be proprietary by default). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
