I would have liked better comms. The USART has such a tiny FIFO that you can't
run it at higher than 9600 bps even with the J-11 CPU. At

In general, you should pick a controller that can do as much as possible
with DMA.
Which means DH11 or DHU11 for Unibus.
Similar with Qbus: DHV11.

little more detail on what was a murky and complicated process.

although that may still be available? And of course one could always bodge

The conversion of the _ARPAN
sed.
So it is incorrect to say that TCP/IP came about 43 years ago. Nor am I

Functionally they are the same, but inside
s on what style of cursor
you have.
The AVO options adds 132 columns with 24 lines, as well as all four

About four months since I last announced anything. There have been
various development since, and I figured I should encourage people who
are using BQTCP/IP for RSX to upgrade to the latest release.
A short list of changes:
TCP:
. Small bugfixes in various states.
. Bugfix in window handling.
