They didn't support Excelan hardware the last time I checked, but that may have changed. Their address is FTP Software, Inc. P.O. Box 150 Kendall Square Branch Boston, MA 02142 (617) 868-4878 I have used their tn3270 over Ethernet to an IBM 9370 running VM, and although I haven't tested it extensively, it seems to work well. You may also be able to get their attention at bugs@ftp.com If they don't support an Excelan card, they do sell a development kit that may be helpful to you in combining their Telnet with Excelan's socket software.

Probably not. The developer's kit is meant to provide access to the internal programming interface (and to a Berkelely socket interface in release 2.0 and later) so that users can write and port their own TCP-based applications. It's not enough to help bring up a driver for a new card or to substitute a smart card's TCP for the internal TCP. -- - john romkey USENET/UUCP: romkey@asylum.sf.ca.us Internet: romkey@xx.lcs.mit.edu "Can you find me soft asylum..." - The Doors
