Hi,

Very nice to have just been logging in on a MSX computer. I was trying
to write a README file to tell everyone to edit addr.txt and make it
an addressbook, but unfortunately ed seemed to hang, so I had to
disconnect :-( Does telnetd really hang, or does it just wait for a
timeout?

Anyway, I had some problems. I usually use ``cat >file'' to create
simple files. But that didn't work with a ``file: file not found''
error. After touching it, it was still not found. So I tried ed, but
that didn't quite work as I hoped (I didn't really expect anything, I
just read the manpage on how it worked)

These are just some points which I think should be fixed. But I want
to say again this is very great, it feels like a real (be it a bit
slow) unix machine (even more because it's MSX and unices have
something with names ending on X ;-) )

One remark about this reply concerning LF/CRLF: The telnet standard
specifies LF should be used as newline. If your client cannot handle
that, then you have a buggy client ;-)

bye,
shevek
