Leonard is absolutely correct.  Macintosh Communications Toolbox is NOT part
of Macintosh System Software v.6.0.x.  It will be part of System 7.0 when it is released.  As such, a separate and unique license agreement must be signed
with Apple in order to redistribute the Macintosh Communications Toolbox.

This is also true for the various Tools available for the Comm. Toolbox.
