tftp/netascii

[Ron Stanonik]

The 4.2bsd tftp implementation apparently doesn't properly
handle "new lines" in netascii mode; ie, it just moves blocks
of uninterpreted data, no different than octet mode.  That's
fine between similar systems, but failed between a pc and our
vax.  The tftp rfc refers to the ascii modifications in the
telnet rfc; ie, "new lines" should be converted to <cr><lf>
when sent and <cr><lf> should be converted to "new lines" when
received.  <cr> should be converted to <cr><nul> when when sent
and <cr><nul> should be converted to <cr> when received.  So,
has anyone fixed(?) the 4.2bsd tftp?

Thanks,
