Dear Generous Suppliers of Free Advice,

I'm using NCSA Telnet on my Macintosh to talk to a Unix system so I can
communicate with the world.  It's connected through AppleTalk to a Gator Box.
I'd like to have a more direct connection for mail, FTP, etc., as well as 
X Windows access.

We're looking into White Pine Software's eXodus, which implements X Windows
over a communication base such as Alisa Systems' TSS for DECnet or Apple's
MacTCP for the Internet.  I'd like to hear from people who've tried that or
who know anything interesting about it.  If I have MacTCP, can I run FTP,
Telnet, eXodus, and such just as if I was on a Real :-) System?  If so, can
they all run at once?  White Pine tells me that eXodus/MacTCP and NCSA Telnet
are mutually exclusive.  If anyone from Apple or White Pine cares to respond,
I won't consider it as a commercial message.

Thanks in advance for the help.

	Bob
