- I am not aware of a public-domain or shareware tcp/ip package. The is
- an alternative to IBM's product, FTP Software Inc sells PC/TCP for OS/2.
- I am using it to review the usenet mail, and send this reply. It has one
- significant advantage over IBM's product (IMHO), it has an nntp agent so
- that I can process usenet conferences on my machine. I am NOT
- interested in using a netnews mail tool on a UNIX box (like nn) to do this.
