Just in case my moderately stupid sendmail can't sort out the return address,
I'll send this to the list.  Besides, NCSA and InterCon deserve the plugs.

I got NCSA Telnet from zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu via anonymous FTP.  It's in
a reasonably obvious directory.  I've used both self-contained and MacTCP
versions.  Both work well.  NCSA Telnet supports an FTP server, but not a
client.  That means you can Telnet to a place then have it connect back to
your Macintosh via FTP.  So you can't use anonymous FTP.

I'm now using TCP/Connect II from InterCon.  Overall I like it a lot.  It has
everything NCSA Telnet has plus an FTP client, mail, news, and even SNMP.  For
more on it, contact Amanda Walker (amanda@intercon.com or
intercon!amanda@uunet.uu.net).  She helped me decide to buy it and has been
helpful with the many nits I've picked since I got it.
