We have a couple of PC's with Appletalk cards in them. We'd like to be able to FTP to/from them to other machines, but the NCSA Telnet software for PC's seems to only support ethernet interfaces on the PC. Does anyone know of a Telnet implementation that can handle an Apple Appletalk/PC interface? Thanks Jim Cordy cordy@qucis.queensu.ca cordy@qucis.bitnet

It's not very full featured but does appear to be robust and efficient. TOPS drove Brent away as well through its antihumanistic policies, and then sat on his work, so I don't think it's available. -- Tim Maroney, Consultant, Eclectic Software, sun!hoptoad!tim "The Diabolonian position is new to the London playgoer of today, but not to lovers of serious literature.

Does anyone know of a >Telnet implementation that can handle an Apple Appletalk/PC >interface? Well, I don't know of any free ones off hand (although Clarkson University has been doing some interesting stuff with PC NCSA Telnet). Our company sells a commercial product based on NCSA Telnet that will work over Apple, TOPS, or DayStar LocalTalk boards (and should, in fact, work with any other board that comes with an Apple-compatible AppleTalk driver). It'll do vt220 emulation (including full DMCS if you've got an EGA or VGA) and tn3270, in addition to all of the features of NCSA's version.

I wrote an AppleTalk driver for PC/IP. It is included in the distribution available for anonymous ftp from husc6.harvard.edu and works with both the TOPS and Apple cards. Of course, PC/IP doesn't have an ftp, only tftp, telnet, and such. I believe Stanford uses the same driver in their SU/IP package (which must have an ftp) but I have never seen their package.
