Thanks for your work and sorry for my previous lack of feedback :-)

There are a few tiny issues:

[image]

> 8088 processor or better
> Somewhere between 96KB and 160KB available RAM
COOL :-)

> The path and name of the configuration file is specified by the 'MTCPCFG'
> environment variable which you need to set before the application starts
Unnecessary, if no var, just assume "MBTCP.INI" or whatever in current directory.

> Here is an example of a minimum configuration file for mTCP:
> PACKETINT 0x60
Why ? Packet driver INT can be detected easily and safely. So if not given, just autodetect it.

> HOSTNAME PCjr
What's the goal of this ?

> ascii - Set transfer type to 'ASCII'
Unless I'm missing something crucial this "Text" or "ASCII" mode is inherently faulty and should never have been invented :-(

> image - Set transfer type to 'image' or 'binary'
Why not "binary" ? Why isn't binary the default (see shot, 2.) ? The "image" command doesn't work (see shot, 4.).

I'll post more later.
