- Hey guys.... Probably the best and most comprehensive workstation TCP/IP
- product comes from FTP Software ($395) 617-868-4878. Most every ethernet and
- some other boards are supported. Most options available including FTP Server.
- Most of the other manufacturers do not have this option yet. This allows
- multiple file transfers to take place using wild cards and also supports
- directory functions to determine what is out there to get. You can load the
- FTP TCP/IP with your Novell shells. You should have no problems getting your
- SUN workstations to get data off of your Novell LANs..By the way, Micom
- licenses its workstation product from FTP. Many others do to. Get your TCP/IP
- from the guy (John Romkey) that wrote the original TCP/IP PC product for MIT.
- Most vendors, including IBM have "borrowed" this public domaign software and
- have enhanced it. -Glenn

- Len, I prefer the FTP TCP/IP implementation. Has more features and it is not
- restricted to Excelan or any other single board. You may run it on
- workstations with 3COM Cards, MICOM cards, Token Ring Cards, Proteon Cards...
- you get the idea. You do not need a Novell or other server for a TCP/IP
- workstation to work. It has its own unique TCP/IP address and name that it
- uses on the TCP/IP network. The FTP implementation is compatible with the
- Novell workstation shells, and both can be load simultaneously (ie you can have
- file transfers from the Novell server to/from remote VAXes, SUNS, orther PCs).
-
- I believe the FTP stuff will be cheaper for you to install too. Check 'em out.
- In the States, you can reach FTP at (617) 868-4878 (MA). -Glenn
