Fixed bug with integer divisions in timers; lDATAsleep, alarmTimeout.

Packet Size
===========

   Maximum block size is increased to 1900 bytes data.  The buffer is
2048 bytes, so why not use more of it.  But remember that packet sizes
over 1500 bytes could cause fragmentation in your network (if your MTU
is less).


Baudrate
========

   Maximum baudrate is increased to a maximum of 1000000 (1 Mbps).
This makes a waiting period of zero seconds even with large packet
size and burst size.  For fast connection only.

   Silly change in src/Makefile.in to install both an in.etftpd and
an etftpd.

Timers
======

   The big difference is that the timers have been trimmed since the
protocol could be tested in its real environment.  All timers are now
measured in seconds, even the burst rate, which makes this version
incompatible with previous ones.  Therefore the running version of
ETFTP is displayed when the status command is given in the interactive
client mode.


* Round Trip Timer

   The round trip timer has been implemented to measure the time
between a packet sent and a packet received.  This had to be
implemented differently on server and client side. The client measures
its round trip timer as the time between sending the OPEN packet and
the receiving of the RESPONSE packet.  This works in both PUT mode
and GET mode.

   The server side is a little more troublesome, since the packet flow
is different in the PUT mode and GET mode.  In GET mode the round trip
timer measures the time between sending the RESPONSE packet and the
receiving of the CONTROL_GO packet.  The PUT mode is the more tricky
one since we have to wait between sending CONTROL_GO and the receiving
of the first DATA packet.  The DATA packet is usually much larger than
the CONTROL_GO packet, and the time it takes to receive it is
therefore subtracted from the round trip timer.


* Radio delay

   The radio delay is added to every channel turnaround.


Debug info
==========

   When the server is started with -v a file called
debug.etftpd.XXXXXXXXX is created in /var/log/ where XXXXXXXXX is a
time stamp.
