I am looking for an implementation of TCP/IP on the PC which provides a programming library. I would only need the PC to act as a client. Specifically, I am looking for the socket family of functions (socket(), connect(), etc.) I don't need TELNET or FTP (but that wouldn't preclude me from buying the package). Also, if SLIP or even dialup SLIP are supported, I would be very interested. I have information about SUN's PC-NFS product and it seems that it would do all that I want (plus NFS), however, it costs $395 per PC. I would prefer a product which either had a lower run-time system cost or a library which would not need a run-time distribution (i.e. all of the TCP/IP facilities my program uses would be linked into my application). -- -------------------- Michael Arena Credit Technologies bu.EDU!icad!goethe!arena

FTP Software's dev kit costs (I think) about $500, but you can license a kernel-and-configuration-only run time for around $150 or so. (You better verify those numbers; it's been a while since I knew them for sure) You can ask info@ftp.com for more details. The dev kit includes sockets. - john romkey Epilogue Technology USENET/UUCP/Internet: romkey@asylum.sf.ca.us voice/fax: 415 594-1141
