To Do and Suggestion List


- Implement thread map for emails. [Will be implemented but after initial release]. [Phil]

For ICE:

- F.R.O.ST = Fidonet Reworked Operations ST. [Daron, Phil, & Dave]
- S.N.O.W = Serial Negotiation - Outside World. (Serial port control & configuration). *

For OASIS2:

- N.O.M.A.D = News Operation Moderation And Delivery (Moderation of newsgroups).
- P.A.L.M = Please Add Listed Mailshot (Mailing lists).
- C.A.M.E.L = Count And Manage Electoral Lists (Voting systems).
- S.P.A.M. = Sequential Posting Automaton (Monthly)
- ANSWER = Respond to emails automatically with a specified text file (one per account). *

* = Will be completed before 2.06 release.

- When using the auto-locator when sending email messages it would be useful if a dialogue came up confirming the users name, and if more than one user shares that data (I have 4 Dave's in my yellow pages) then a selection dialogue should appear allowing you which user to select. This should just show the names available, not the full YPG's.

- Requested by Gary Priest:
1. Improvements to the speed of data transfer by ICE. Definately we should be able to alter the MTU and MSS etc. as in NOS and STiK. I know this was on your list for ages. I now think it's quite important. Guess who's just read the tuning faq from Demon :-) Seriously though, I do think it's quite important. ICE does seem quite a bit slower than NOS. Also, a lot of people like to feel they have some sort of control andallowing them to 'tune' ICE would be welcomed by them.

Also, maybe, instead of writing each news article to disk as it is receieved it could cache it to memory. I (think) this what NOS does and why people get speeds of 2000-3000 whereas the most I've had with ICE (on a 28800 modem) is about 1400 but often 800 or so.

2. A rewrite of the ftp front end. I've never liked it much (but didn't complain because I thought it would change. Silly mistake). I much prefer the mg-ftp style of front end. It looks like a jazzed up dos display (much better) and shows date and size. I have to confess that if mg-ftp was a little more reliable then I would definately use it to my ftping instead of ICE. Just preference I guess. But I do like to see the size and date/time of each file (without having to click on it). As it is, I don't use ICE to ftp (I revert to NOS) because it's faster and more reliable. ICE keeps hanging (with TCP errors).
