Telnet has been massively hacked up for this release. It presently requires a C++ compiler (gcc 2.7.2 or higher recommended), but not libg++ or libstdc++. That is, unless you went to special effort to not install the C++ compiler when you installed gcc, you'll be fine. Large amounts of further hacking are expected. If you're interested in working on it, please contact me, as diffs are likely to become useless very quickly. Support for assorted old/broken systems has been dropped. Some such support may be reinstated in the future once the code has been cleaned up sufficiently. On the other hand, it may not. Known bugs/shortcomings at this point: - Under some circumstances it can theoretically encounter a buffer overflow condition and drop data on the floor. If anyone actually observes this ``in the wild'' I'd appreciate knowing the circumstances. I'm also not convinced the old behavior was any better. - Various of the debug/trace modes don't work. This probably doesn't matter to anyone not actually coding on it.
