- I have used FTP's software quite happily for the last year. I am
- still using the old 1.1 version (since I can't seem to get any info on
- how to go about an upgrade). The only problem with this version is
- that under OS/2 2.0, the ftp server doesn't work.
-
- I have installed IBM's TCP/IP from the PDK to give it a try. I found
- it to be much *slower*, and I found the VT220/100 emulators to be
- buggy. They will lock up with certain keystrokes when telnet'ed over
- to an Interactive UNIX machine. I have since switched back to my FTP
- software. I didn't even attempt to try the X-windows since I figured
- the performance would be dismal based on the general performance of
- the telnet sessions.
-
- Now if only I can get Novell and FTP to share my SMC card...
