The only macintosh program which allows; Mail, Telnet, ftp, ie basic implemention of the TCP/IP protocol is the ka9q macintosh project. The macintosh co-ordinator for the ka9q project is: Douglas Thom N6OYU Macintosh KA9Q Project Coord 1405 Grawwood Drive San Jose, CA 95 129 4778 (408) 253 1306 thom@apple.com I know the program (MacNet) has been stored at the following sites; louie.udel.edu apple.com col.hp.com If anyone knows of any other implementations of TCP/IP over SLIP for the Macintosh I would be very interestered to hear of it, esp a News iplementation.
