It performed excellently over Ethernet using MacTCP and over a modem connection with their SLIP implementation. The only reason we returned the product was because we were looking for a SLIP (or PPP) driver for the Mac that would allow us to run MacX over dial-in lines. Their SLIP implementation did not do this. I was told that this was due to limitations in the Mac OS, and might be fixed in system 7.0. Out of the othe networking packages we have used I found TCP/Connect to have many features not normally found in just one package.
