SUMMARY OF WHAT'S NEW IN HS/LINK VERSION 1.21
==========================================================================

HS/Link version 1.21 is a maintenance release which is fully compatible
with release 1.20. Most users do NOT need to upgrade from version 1.20.

Some modems are known to occasionally go "dead" during a connection. When
this happens, HS/link will soon decide that the link has failed and will
abort the transfer. Since one of the modems in the connection is now
"dead", it is possible for HS/link to wait indefinitely for a go-ahead (CTS
signal) from the modem to send the final abort sequence. Version 1.21 adds
logic to disregard the CTS flow control signal under these circumstances,
allowing HSLINK to exit to DOS rather than continuing to wait for the
modem to disconnect.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
