Last week, IBM announced a very complete TCP/IP implementation for OS/2. It includes all the standard stuff: Telnet, Tn3270, FTP, TFTP, SMTP client and server, etc. Also, DNS support, Kerberos client and server support, Telnet server, ftp server, routed, talk client and server, rsh/rexecd, full client/server RPC/XDR and Apollo NCS libraries (IBM not to play favorites...), etc. Very complete offering. Available some time in March. Requires 1.2EE. A bit more than $1000 for all of this stuff. There is also a lower-priced configuration that doesn't include the RPC libraries, etc. The announcement also stated that it was IBM's intention to deliver full NFS support for OS/2EE. "Intention to deliver" is IBM code for "within the next two years" -- but doesn't necessarily mean it will take two years. pmf These opinions are mine, and mine only. +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------+ | Phil Fernandez | philf@metaphor.com | | | ...!{apple|decwrl}!metaphor!philf | | Metaphor Computer Systems |"Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind| | Mountain View, CA | rule the body?
