At San Jose I spoke with the people from Advanced Software Concepts about their
CommToolbox products. They are shipping a TCP/IP tool called TCPack which does 
a full implementation of TCP/IP and FTP, as well as a complete Telnet and it's 
parameters negociation (by remote host or user directly). They will announce a 
3270 tool shortly. There will be someone from Advanced Software Concepts at 
Boston, who will talk about a MacWorkStation compatible productbased on the 
CommToolbox. There was some news on this one in the AppleLink MWS folder.

Apple is doing the neccessary for the Decnet tool, let's just wait. As for 
the SNA tool, nobody announced anything as far as I have read and heard.
