The current version, by the way, is 2.20, maybe even 2.30. PC/TCP is available direct from the manafacturer, as well as many Unix and PC software houses. FTP's number is 508-685-4000. They're on the net as ftp.COM. Under Windows, with the soon-to-be-release INET-PC 5.01, there are other options. 5.01 uses the WinSocket spec to interface with the TCP driver. That opens up a whole host of drivers, including Microsoft TCP/IP. We also use MS TCP/IP, but it is not as solid as FTP's, but it does give full functionality to Windows for Workgroup over TCP/IP. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Burks jburks@promus.com The Promus Companies Memphis, Tennessee, USA
