The existing PCTCP for OS/2 1.0 supports OS/2 EE only on Ethernet via the
NDIS interface.  The release we are working on now, V1.1, will fully support
IBM OS/2 EE via the Communications Manager interface.

Our existing release contains an FTP server among other things.  It does not
contain either POP2 or 3 servers.  Our 1.1 release will contain PCMail &
POP3 servers.

We will be providing a Development kit which in addition to a sockets
interface (via a DLL) will provide enough UNIX emulation to provide 
a relatively (:-) ) easy port from UNIX to OS/2.  No matter what we
do, you still will need some <#ifdef OS2> code.
