- Strictly speaking, I put that message there - he's running the
- unregistered version of my Windows FTP daemon. In the registered
- version, that message doesn't appear, and you get to put whatever
- message you want when someone logs in or out.
-
- I figure it's a harmless (and amusing) way to get more people to
- register :-) (Although I haven't yet sold 20 copies!)

- Alun.

- PC/TCP has definitely had some problems. I don't know if they are all
- resolved, but their UDP support is very minimal. They can't reassemble
- fragmented packets!
-
- I use Distinct TCP/IP and have had great results with it. Their full package
- includes several good apps, as well. I've seen Microsoft use their apps in
- demos of the Windows NT TCP/IP also.
-
- I used an older version of Chameleon, and wasn't very impressed. They didn't
- even support packet drivers. You had to load up all the NDIS stuff just to
- use it. It wouldn't coexist with Novell without buying an add-on component.
- Distinct supports NDIS, ODI, and packet drivers right out of the box, and
- includes several of these with it.
-
- I'm not sure what the new Chameleon setup looks like, but one of the gripes I
- had with the older one was that it was "too slick". At least with Distinct's
- it was obvious what they added to the end of the autoexec.bat, and (using
- packet drivers) no changes were required anywhere else.
-
- Unlike PC/TCP, Distinct is DLL based, and doesn't require a giant chunk of
- your precious 640k of DOS memory. In fact, when it is not active it requires
- only about 4k of memory. PC/TCP (which I also have on some machines I
- support), being a TSR base stack, uses between 50k and 90k of DOS memory ALL
- THE TIME!
