- NUPop supports the FTP Software kernel automatically via the (nominal)
- interrupt 0x61 interface. When NUPop starts executing, it checks for the
- presence of several TCP/IP kernels, one of which is FTP Software's.
- If none is found, NUPop uses its own built-in kernel, which is a modified
- version of the University of Minnesota driver, which in turn is derived from
- NCSA Telnet.
-
- NUPop also provides for adding interfaces to other TCP/IP kernels through
- the use of external drivers.
-
- Trumpet comes in several flavors, including one that interfaces through
- external drivers to a variety of kernels. There is a Trumpet driver for
- the FTP Software kernel.
-
- The PC Gopher programs from UMinn, as well UMinn's POPMail, also directly
- support the FTP Software kernel.
-
- I haven't looked at the current versions of the other programs you mention
- so I can't speak to them.
