In addition, there is also the Brown version which contains IBM 3179
emulation.  I don't know if they have both a MacTCP and nonMacTCP version.
There are also two commercial variants of NCSA.  The original TCP/Connect
and MacPathWay Access.  TCP/Connect was InterCons original product, MacPathWay
Access is being sold by Wollongong (OEMed from InterCon). There is also a
version which contains SLIP that was done by cisco, it's (I think) PD.

I think that there is even one more PD version of NCSA Telnet for the Mac
out there, but I could be confusing it with versions of the IBM code.

It is interesting to see what all has happened with a very good package.
It will also be interesting to see what happens with it in the future.

By the way, does anyone know of anybody who has added any additional terminal
emulations to NCSA besides TN3270 from Brown (and InterCon's commercial stuff)?
It would be interesting to know.  Also while I am at it.  Could people provide
me with a list of the various machines that the PD code can be found on?
I am trying to keep a (ever growing) list of what and where for TCP/IP stuff
on the Mac.

Thanks!
