It is available from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in NCSA_Telnet/contributions. I just got a hold of this and am very pleased with it - thanks BYU! Now I can do all my ftp/telnet stuff with one piece of software. I used to use NCSA Telnet for telnet sessions since it has such good printing support but needed to use SUMacIP for anonymous ftp. MacIP works but I didn't like the tiny little window you get for your ftp session. The program is designed to use mac-style windows and buttons for issuing ftp commands but it ends up being a lot more time-consuming than just typing 'cd' 'ls' and 'get'. It is, however, nice for trans- ferring multiple files at once. This is not meant to be a criticism of MacIP. I just am very satisfied with BYU's Telnet and wanted to share my opinion.
