[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Free and commercial software for FTP/TELNET on the Mac

roskar@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (Veljko Roskar) (08/03/90)

Could someone please point out to me where I can get the National
Center's for Supercomputing Applications versions of ftp and 
telnet for the Mac.

Does this software support ftp while using telnet?
Does it have any Tektronix emulation?

I am aware that there is a commercial product that "sits" on top
of the new VersaTerm's comm toolbox, but I have no idea about where
I can buy it or who makes it.

Eternal thanks for help on this.

P.S. If any of you know of good and cheap ethernet boards that work with
the above mentioned products and fit in the SE/30, please recommend some.

This is for my advisor. It's important that I keep him happy.


Thank you so.

This is currently the only way you can use ftp (unless you get the version
modified by BYU or Clarkson).  Yes it emulates a Tek 4014.

Well actually it sits between VersaTerm and MacTCP.  It is sold by InterCon
Systems (us) and you can get more information by dropping me a mail message
with your US Mail address and I will send some out to you.
