You can get Netmanage's Ethernet TCP/IP stack for free...sort of.

Anon FTP to their server <ftp.netmanage.com>
<<or possibly hit their gopher>> and get to the /winsock
directory.  There you'll find four chamel*.zip files which
comprise the Netmanage TCP/IP suite.  I don't know if the
stuff on the server has the SLIP and PPP implementation
or if its version 4.00 (which is a _tonne_ better than the
earlier version 3.11).

Below is a blurb that describes how you may use this
stuff for _180 DAYS_ free of charge...


So...try the stack free; before buying the book; before
buying a real TCP/IP suite.


I just want to say that I have no relationship whatsoever
with Netmanage, Inc or with NCD (from whom my NetManage stuff
came).  I'm just a <mostly> satisfied customer.


===beginning of blurbette===

The .zip files in this directory correspond to the installation
diskettes and contain all the files normally located on the Chameleon
floppies.

TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE:  copy each .zip file onto a separate floppy.
Insert diskette #1 into drive A: type win a:setup (assuming you have
the installation flopy in the A drive).  You will be prompted for all
the other relevant information (i.e. adapter type, IP address, subnet
mask, etc.).  You can use Custom to configure some optional informa-
tion (i.e. default gateway, DNS server, etc.).

    !!!!!!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During the installation you will be prompted for a serial number.
The valid serial number is DEMO_520180343880001, and the Key is 170C.

The included software is only valid for 180 days from February 23,
1994.  So, some time in August you'll get a license violation mes-
sage, at which time you are supposed to run out and purchase a legal
copy (we will not object to purchases prior to the expiration day).

The winsock.dll provided in this release is compatible with the
Windows Sockets version 1.1 specification.  If you find any problems,
please send your e-mail to [e-mail].  Actually, we want
to hear from you even if you don't have any problems.

Karl, none of NetManage's products currently do Dial-On-Demand.

Anonymous FTP to ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu and look around.

It's there, the author says there is something wrong with their FTP daemon and
the DIR command. He says the LS command would get you a directory listing
instead. However, even without the directory listing, you can still get the
file. Just cd /pub/winsock and get wsfngr11.zip. It works.

ftp sparky.umd.edu
...
cd /pub/winsock
get wsfngr11.zip
quit

Even though the directory listing using DIR returns nothing, you can still
access the file, it is there.

No, Peter was saying that the current beta of Trumpet News Reader, which can
sort articles, has a bug with the POP3 mail client. I was just saying that I
use PC-Eudora to handle my mail exclusively so that's not a problem for me.
For the most part, Trumpet News Reader is quite nice.

I spoke to datastorm today. They said that the next version
of prowin is not, as was reported, shipping. Dealer support had
heard of slip suppport, but could not confirm that it was planned
for the upcoming release
