- I'm planning on trying out IBM's TCP/IP product, and have some questions
- before I fill out the purchase req...
-
- (1) Does the base package (02G6968) come with an NFS client, or do I
- need to purchase the NFS Kit (02G6970)?
-
- (2) Without starting a flamewar, what features does it have that the FTP
- software doesn't have, and vice-versa?
-
- (3) With the X-Window System (02G6980), will it allow me to display Sun's
- OpenWindows programs? (This is probably the most important one, as
- out suns are running OpenWindows, and I'd like to be able to access
- tools such as the editor tool, mail tool, etc...)
-
- (4) How easy is the installation? One hour, two, four, three days?
-
- Thanks much!
