Could someone please point out to me where I can get the National Center's for Supercomputing Applications versions of ftp and telnet for the Mac. Does this software support ftp while using telnet? Does it have any Tektronix emulation? I am aware that there is a commercial product that "sits" on top of the new VersaTerm's comm toolbox, but I have no idea about where I can buy it or who makes it. Eternal thanks for help on this. P.S. If any of you know of good and cheap ethernet boards that work with the above mentioned products and fit in the SE/30, please recommend some. This is for my advisor. It's important that I keep him happy. Thank you so. -- Best regards, Veljko Roskar | roskar@jhuvms.bitnet Department of Chemical Engineering | roskar@jhuvms.hcf.jhu.edu The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore | uunet!mimsy!aplcen!jhunix!roskar

Just in case my moderately stupid sendmail can't sort out the return address, I'll send this to the list. Besides, NCSA and InterCon deserve the plugs. I got NCSA Telnet from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu via anonymous FTP. It's in a reasonably obvious directory. I've used both self-contained and MacTCP versions. Both work well. NCSA Telnet supports an FTP server, but not a client. That means you can Telnet to a place then have it connect back to your Macintosh via FTP. So you can't use anonymous FTP. I'm now using TCP/Connect II from InterCon. Overall I like it a lot. It has everything NCSA Telnet has plus an FTP client, mail, news, and even SNMP. For more on it, contact Amanda Walker (amanda@intercon.com or intercon!amanda@uunet.uu.net). She helped me decide to buy it and has been helpful with the many nits I've picked since I got it.
