- I think I started this thread (thanks to those who have
- responded). Let me restate the question. I use windows on my
- PC. I have an ethernet link to our Suns. I can telnet, ftp, etc
- using QVT/NET. The question is WHAT GOOD IS WfWG OUT OF THE BOX
- WITHOUT BUYING ANY OTHER SOFTWARE FOR TCP/IP CONNECTIONS? Does
- it include TCP/IP utilities a la QVT/NET? Can I mount remote
- drives? Transparently print to remote printers? Or am I better
- off pocketing the upgrade cost and sticking with W3.1 and
- QVT/NET?
