After giving up on trying to connect my advisor's SE/30
to a hard line (19200 baud) to our University's network,
I talked him into getting a REAL hookup--an ethernet
connection.

I am aware of the wonders of TCP/IP and the NCSA's telnet
and ftp programs, but I've heard of
an add-on to the new version of VersaTerm that will offer
telnet and ftp capabilities. However, I do not know the company
that manafactures this product or how good it is.

I also don't know which hardware board or box I should recommend
for purchase. I would be terminally grateful if you could point out
the major players in this game of high speed networking, or to a
magazine article that evaluates the products.

A million thanks to all.
