Apple has assured me that they are *not* developing a TCP/IP tool for
CTB.  Apple has developed a simple MacTCP connection tool for use with
MacX, but it won't help you with terminal emulation because it doesn't
support Telnet.  Pacer has developed a MacTCP Telnet tool that will be
included with their new terminal emulation product.  Currently, there
are no plans to market the tool seperately.  Other TCP/IP tools are
available from Advanced Software Concepts in France, and I thought that
someone at Intercon Systems mentioned that they were developing a tool
for TCP. (I could be mistaken)
