[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Summary of replies to request for info re. FTP wrt PCIP

I'd like to thank everyone who replied to my FTP /PCIP question.

To Summarize:

A number of people mentioned that that the PCIP software can only support
one concurrent TCP session, and FTP requires 2. 

IBM's PC TCP/IP does have FTP. We at UWaterloo have a copy with source,
but my needs would extend beyond my understanding of our license.

Several people also mentioned that NCSA has an FTP client.

It seems my needs can be met with a combination of packet drivers, PCIP for
the packet driver, and the NCSA telnet, tn3270, and FTP client for the
packet driver. The only thing left is to modify the 'custom' program
to zap the config.tel file as well, or to create a program which 
creates a config.tel file from the netcustd device before running the 
NCSA applications.


Thanks again
