Package: ser2net
Version: 2.10.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I'm currently working on improving rfc2217-support in microcom and think
that ser2net behaves wrong in reply to microcom's improved behaviour.
When I connect to ser2net and then "say":
IAC DO COM_PORT
(i.e. \xff \xfd \x2c) ser2net replies with
IAC WONT COM_PORT
(i.e. \xff \xfc \x2c) which is bogus because that's the purpose of
ser2net and it works just fine if I don't ask for it.
I didn't test, but I guess the fix is:
- { TN_OPT_COM_PORT, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
+ { TN_OPT_COM_PORT, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,
in dataxfer.c.
You might also consider to initially send
IAC DO COM_PORT
IAC WILL COM_PORT
(and adapt telnet_cmds[] accordingly).
Best regards
Uwe
