After giving up on trying to connect my advisor's SE/30 to a hard line (19200 baud) to our University's network, I talked him into getting a REAL hookup--an ethernet connection. I am aware of the wonders of TCP/IP and the NCSA's telnet and ftp programs, but I've heard of an add-on to the new version of VersaTerm that will offer telnet and ftp capabilities. However, I do not know the company that manafactures this product or how good it is. I also don't know which hardware board or box I should recommend for purchase. I would be terminally grateful if you could point out the major players in this game of high speed networking, or to a magazine article that evaluates the products. A million thanks to all.
