Thank you for mentioning your product... :-)

There are several items that might be of interest to you:

There is a French company which has a CTB product that allows telnet and
FTP

InterCon has a telnet driver that allows various (the list is getting bigger
everyday) serial programs to run over MacTCP.  This will be coming out in
ToolBox form soon.  FTP will be part of this package soon.

I don't know of any others that have drivers or CTB packages for MacTCP.
I think that the name of the French company is Advanced Technologies (or
something like that) I will try to look this up and drop the name and address
on the net.

You also mentioned 3270 connectivity.  I don't know of anyone working on
a 3270 tool at the moment.  Our other product TCP/Connect II has a 3270 option
that you might be interested in.  Drop me a line and I will mail info to
you if you are interested.

Question for the Pacer people.  Is your tool going to be sold seperatly,
or do you have to buy the Whole Pacer package?
