- Poor implementation, it seems. Hopefully they'll fix this oversight.
- There's a new CSD out for base services TCP/IP, and it should be
- available any day now from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu via anonymous ftp (check
- /pub/uploads/sharebbs initially). Has anyone determined whether rsh
- has been revised?

- Check the SAMPLES directory -- there might be something there you can
- use (hint).
-
- Also, there's a third party rcp-equivalent. You can obtain it from
- the above mentioned ftp site. Check the file /pub/os2/00Index on that
- site for location.
