     I have a 386 machine (AT@T 6386E WGS) with UNIX System V/386
Release 3.2, which I would like to put on the Internet network.
Unfortunately, so far I have been unable to locate a FTP host with
a public domain software - STREAMS based TCP/IP with FTP and Telnet.
Does anybody in the UNIX world have any knowledge about the
existence of such a package or is my search futile ?
     From the vendors guide, which I have FTP'ed from sri-nic.arpa
(via bitftp@pucc), and from the discussions with wizards, I have
learnt that there are some commercial packages which would do the
job. For example, Wollongog's WIN/386, Lachman's System V Streams
TCP, and Microport's TCP/IP. Would any kind soul care to comment on
their advantages and their drawbacks ? (I am planning to purchase
Western Digital WD8003E card.)
     Please reply directly, I will summarize if there is interest.

Thank you,
                    Bogdan

 P.S. I HAVE SEND THE SAME NOTE TO THE INFO-UNIX GROUP. I HOPE
      NOT TO BREAK THE NET ETIQUETTE BY POSTING IT HERE TOO.
