Does anyone out there know what is available in the way of TCP/IP software for PC's? I am a newcomer to the pcip mailing list and would like to gather info about what software is available for PC's. I would be willing to gather up any responses to this message and put together and post a summary of TCP/IP software available for PC's - provided someone hasn't already done it. I imagine many more people will become interested in TCP/IP on PC's as hardware becomes less expensive and more software emerges so having a list that can be distributed to newcomers (such as myself) of exactly what software is available might be worthwhile. I already have heard about or stumbled onto KAQ9 (from simtel20), NCSA Telnet, SUN PCNFS, PC/IP (from mit? cmu?), the SLIP package (from ucdavis? cmu?), and PCMAIL (from mit). I would still like to get info about all of the above, so I don't distribute erroneous info. I am interested in telnet/ftp, NFS, mail, network monitoring, and all other TCP/IP software for PC's. If all of the people who have put together TCP/IP software for PC's would like to stand up and be counted, I'll start compiling a list. Ideally everyone could send a quick message that includes: -what your package does -what hardware is required -how to get your package -what you are willing to distribute (source and/or binaries) -how to reach you if I have questions -and anything else you think is appropriate So how about it, send me email and let me know what has been done.
