[HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS

[John Forecast]

Johnny,
   I installed this version of your code and had a problem with TELNETD. Because I had changed the number of supported terminals (from 10 to 4) I got

	INS -- Length mismatch common block TELCOM

while trying to install TELNETD. Looks like you’ll need to rebuild it as part of the install.

  John.
