- If you want to do telnet over ethernet from an MS-DOG machine
- into a Unix host, you have three Public Domain type choices:
-
- Kermit (MSKERMIT V3.11) The best VT100 terminal emulation
-
- NCSA The next best VT100 terminal emulation
-
- KA9Q Terrible ansi/nansi terminal emulation
-
- All of the above three use the "Clarkson Packet drivers".
-
- Now the KA9Q stuff has other advantages besides telnet. It will
- let you do ftp, ping, SLIP, amd SMTP (unix style email).
-
- But wait. There's more! If you load KA9Q on your MS-DROSS
- machine, it can become a host and other machines can send it mail, ftp
- files from it etc.
-
- Now for those who want Telnet with so-so VT-100 emulation and
- ftp, slip ping etc, there is Sun's PC-NFS. This will cost you about
- $350.00 per machine.

- There is a Mac version of KA9Q.
