I know some TCP/IP software products for PC. As far as I know, the following softwares are available. (1) MIT version (MicroComputer Center, Software Sales and Application) (2) Spartacus's KNET TCP/IP (3) FTP Sofware, Inc. Which product should I buy? The product will be mainly used for network checking, network-watch etc. I need some facilities for testing TCP/IP software which is now being developed on my special machine named ELIS, the fastest personal LISP machine in the world. ELIS will be released in a few months. Anyway, please let me know also other products for these purposes. I am developing TCP/IP for Version-1 Ethernet. I know YHP's LAN-protocol-analyzer 4971s, but it is only for Version-2 Ethernet in Japan. KEN

The product will be mainly used for network checking, network-watch etc. The 3.0 release of software from Sun included two programs that we use heavily for network management. The "traffic" program includes a menu interface, and draws real-time graphs of various network usage statistics. There is also a program called "etherfind" that has an interface like Unix "find" which we use to get packet traces to debug protocols. This is just some of the software included in a Sun-3/50 for list price $7900. Also, expect an official announcement of the MS-DOS TCP/IP/NFS that was demonstrated in February by a major workstation vendor. (sorry for the plug, couldn't resist.) -- Bill Nowicki Sun Microsystems
