+ NETBUGGER3
+
+ NETBUGGER3 is a third level program for the debugging of second and
+ third level programs, experimentation with and simulation of third
+ level protocols.
+
+ We were writing an RJE FILENET to interact with UCLA-CCN, and
+ discovered that they (UCLA-CCN) wouldn't be up for a few months. We
+ needed a program that would simulate CCN, so that we could interact
+ with it and debug our FILENET. It occurred to me that all over the
+ network, people had similar problems, i.e., they couldn't debug
+ programs because the intended server wasn't up. And so I started to
+ write a third level debugger-simulater.
+
+ With NETBUGGER3 the user can easily issue RTSs, STRs, and LISTENs,
+ interrogate the status of connections, receive and display NCP-USER
+ events and transmit and receive data over as many as twelve
+ connections (per copy of program running). Received data can be
+ displayed in ASCII, EBCDIC on HEX. The user can, of course,
+ originate data for transmission in the same forms. NETBUGGER3 can be
+ initiator, receiver and/or intermediate in connections.
+
+ An example of how NETBUGGER3 could be of use to other hosts on the
+ Net follows.
+
+ Host X has a special third level Filenet to debug. The host they
+ plan to interact with won't be up for several months. Host X can
+ arrange with us to interact with NETBUGGER3, which will simulate the
+ proposed third level protocol and transactions.
+
+ An alternate possibility is for Host X to use his Telnet to enter our
+ system and start NETBUGGER3 himself. He can then be running
+ NETBUGGER3 on one console and his filenet on another.

+
+
+ Then, later on when the other server Host is up, NETBUGGER3 can be
+ used an intermediate between Host X and his serving host. Every
+ message from Host X to server and vice versa can be displayed,
+ examined and, if necessary, edited as it passes through the
+ NETBUGGER3 console, thus making possible the debugging and
+ measurements.
+
+ This is only one example. If you are interested in using, receiving,
+ documentation, making suggestions or anything else regarding
+ NETBUGGER3, please contact the Network liaison at UCLA - NMC.
