We have them sort of working.  What we had to do was configure on a sysetm 6
machine and then transfer the files to a system 7 machine.  AdminTCP will not
open for us under system 7, although MacTCP will.  We have been able to use
TN3270 and NCSA Telnet successfully.  Some MacTCP features seem not to work at
all.

Apple says an update is pending for the June/July timeframe.

1) Put the files MacTCP and Hosts to the root of System Folder (_not_
   into a folder inside System Folder, such as Control Panels)
2) (optional) Make an alias of MacTCP and put it inside Control Panels-folder
3) (_only_ if you are using IP-in-DDP over EtherTalk)
   Put a copy of EtherTalk ADEV to the root of System Folder.
   Otherwise you won't be able to select anything but "native" TCP/IP
   as your connection (i.e. you won't see the "AppleTalk" interface where
   to look for the IP gateway).

Why would you care for #3? You could have an Apple Internet Router or
such between you and the IP network (maybe even TokenTalk in-between),
so that IP on your cable won't pass to the IP hosts...
