Can some one help me? I need a communications package that will allow me to connect to remote hosts via ethernet within a MS Windows 3.0 window. Is this available? I currently am using network software not fully supported by Windows 3.0 (PC-NFS 3.0.1). If I upgrade to PC-NFS 3.5 (claimed to be fully supported) and obtain a suitable communications package (see above) will I be able to log in to a data base on a remote host and collect selected data to a local file easily (perhaps to another window)?

Based on pictures I have seen of Sun's Advanced Telnet (I haven't used PC-NFS for years, but I knew it pretty well. I just helped a member of my group get his installation running after our central computing people completely botched the install) it is not a Windows application. However, you can still "cut" and "paste" from a DOS shell in Win3. There are other people with better Windows support like Beame and Whiteside and another company in Cupertino, CA whose name I forget at the moment. -- There is no right to free speech when someone else is paying you.
