Below is a running history of changes made to the software

04Mar2001
* Telnet service is now available - rudimentary, but it works fairly well.

* More reorganization of internal code. I had too many function calls that did
  similar things, so I cut them down to a few key functions. This will also make
  it considerably easier for me to add other TCP/IP services in future releases.
01Mar2001
 * KLMProxy now uses the system tray just like the FlexNet Control Center.

 * The popup console now has a bitmap on it.
03Feb2001
 * Cosmetics, reorganization of internal code.

 * FTP on hold (because I over looked some key design issues)

 * New Telnet service added to GUI form, but no functionality yet.

I am VERY pleased with this latest release. I have tested it using Eudora and Netscape Mail,
and it simply shines with an Xnet host machine. It works nice with the modified TNOS, but be
aware that TNOS does not always come back to the command prompt when the raw telnet session is
terminated by the remote tcp/ip service. That is a known problem that has been addressed with
some versions. If this is the case, KLMProxy will simply timeout, and automatically disconnect
itself from the gateway. It just means you will have to reattach to the gateway before you can
use another client.

 * Fixed a problem where KLMProxy would allow a client to connect for the first time, then deny
   ALL subsequent requests (saying the gateway was busy). The only solution in previous releases
   was to exit KLMProxy and run it again.

 * Solved a problem where a client's SMTP exchange would ALWAYS timeout. The message would actually
   be delivered to the host machine, but the client was always being prematurely closed, giving the
   user the impression that the mail send actually failed.

 * Sorry, but I had to fix the TNOS patch one more time (that should be it). The previous
   patch would not return you to the TNOS command prompt when the tcp/ip session is ended,
   and instead would detach (disconnect) KLMProxy from the host machine. The patch file
   (on the main page) has been corrected.

 * A few fixes related to the latest TNOS patch. This and the latest patch, made all the
   difference in making KLMProxy work nicely with a TNOS host machine.
24Jan2001
 * User can now set their own callsign in the Gateway Configuration panel. In all the
   excitement I completely forgot to put that into the original prototype. Anyone using
   the demo before now would have been broadcasting my callsign ve4klm-1.

 * Also found a mistake in the TNOS patch (a bad one). It has been fixed and the
   patch file (on the main page) has been changed to reflect the new fix.
21Jan2001
 * First released to the masses.
