K4TDS@SCFVM.BITNET ("Thomas D. Schardt") (09/30/88)
We recently installed IBM's TCP/IP product and are currently testing it. In anticipation of user questions, I would like to put together a list of TELNET and FTP programs that are available for the Apple Macintosh and the IBM PC, PS/2, and PC clone microcomputers. Currently, I know about the following applications for the Macintosh: Brown TN3270 and NCSA TELNET. For the PC's, I've seen FTP Software's group of programs and NCSA TELNET. Can anyone point out any other programs? Where can I get them or get information about them? If an interest is expressed, I'll put my list to this list. Thanks, Tom Schardt NASA Space and Earth Sciences Computing Center Goddard Space Flight Center BITNET: K4TDS at SCFVM ARPANET: K4TDS@SCFVM.BITNET

TCP/Connect is a new package from Intercon Corporation 11732 Bowman Green Dr., Reston, VA 22090, 703-435-8170. I called them about two weeks ago and they promised to send information. Nothing has arrived yet, but if I remember the conversation correctly, they were about to go into Beta testing with the version for a Mac on LocalTalk. They also have versions for Mac using EtherTalk, and one for MS-DOS machines on a LocalTalk network. To my knowledge this is the only announced or available implementation for PC on LocalTalk, which is of great interest to us. TOPS has announced TOPS Terminal for January 88, but they missed the date and are going into Beta only now. Maybe it will be released before the end of the year, but there won't be a PC version soon. Please post the list of packages that you hear about.
