I know of NCSA Telnet for the Mac, and I understand there's a Stanford solution, too. Are there any others? I'm interested in commercial solutions also. Thanks in advance, Kevin Ruddy smiles@ferrari.nmc.ed.ray.com

Synergy Software just announced new releases of VersaTerm and VersaTerm PRO that will support TCP/IP through the communications toolbox. They will be distributed with MacTCP. VersaTerm is around $90, VTP is several hundred dollars. The new versions (VT 4.5, VTP 3.5) are not yet available but I saw them at MacWorld. Should be available in about 1 month. I have been using VersaTerm for several years and IMHO it does the best job of VT100 emulation of any comm software I have used.

Intercon Systems makes a VT52, VT102, VT240, Tektronics 4014, VT 3278 (mod 2-5) emulator called TCP/CONNECT II. All the emulations are built into this package. It supports TCP/IP and MacTCP. NOTE: The developer who originally wrote NCSA TELNET (Gaige Paulsen) started this company. TCP/CONNECT II is essentially NCSA Telnet but with alot more options and alot more features. Intercon Systems can be reached at (703) 709-9890.

It performed excellently over Ethernet using MacTCP and over a modem connection with their SLIP implementation. The only reason we returned the product was because we were looking for a SLIP (or PPP) driver for the Mac that would allow us to run MacX over dial-in lines. Their SLIP implementation did not do this. I was told that this was due to limitations in the Mac OS, and might be fixed in system 7.0. Out of the othe networking packages we have used I found TCP/Connect to have many features not normally found in just one package.
