[comp.sys.mac] Where to get MacTCP 1.1?

doane@ide.com (05/30/91)

Could anyone recommmend a means of obtaining version 1.1 of
MacTCP?  I received version 1.0.1 with the new version of
MacX, which works fine with EtherTalk, but, I want to try it
from my LocalTalk net via a GatorBox to a Sun network.  Caymen
suggested the MacTCP upgrade when I called them for some
assistance with this.

I would ask my Apple vendor for some help here, but, I know
he'll just look at me funny, giggle nervously and try to
change the subject...

...any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

(Besides which, v1.1 is the only system 7.0 compatable version).

Not quite true. 1.1 will work "out of the box", but 1.0.1 works perfectly 
well if you do this:

Put MacTCP out in the System Folder itself instead of in the Extensions 
folder where the Installer thinks it should go.

Make an alias of MacTCP and put the alias in the Control Panels folder so 
you can control it.

Voila!
