- Fetch does require KSP or MacTCP. KSP is an INTERNAL communications
- extension that is required on the AppleTalk network at Dartmouth College
- and its related sites. MacTCP is a commercial Apple product that many
- sites have a site license for, your mileage may vary. Your local support
- staff (if you have one?) should be able to tell you if MacTCP is available
- at your site or can be used at all.

- Comp.sys.mac.misc is an OK place to start if you are unsure of the proper
- comp.sys.mac.* group to use. In this case comp.sys.mac.comm would have
- been OK as well.
-
- In the case of Fetch (like many other freeware/shareware apps) there is
- also an email address to send to.
