It has more missing features, compared to the Taylor version, like the unability to run an external program with stdin and stdout piped to the remote end simultaneously (like a local "sz" Z-modem program), plus it has this annoying startup message "can't open log file /var/log/aculog" (why should it be able to open it at all?). I wish the Taylor version hadn't been thrown overboard at all. We used to have two alternatives, cu and tip. Now we only have tip and tip. :( (I doubt tip has actually less security bugs than Taylor cu. If we threw out all the BSD-originating programs that once experienced a security problem, we would rather quickly end up with a skeleton that could hardly be named `Unix' anymore...) > This is bug for bug compatible with the V7 cu except > for the unusably slow speed of 9600.
