Hello Netlanders!

I'm looking for ways to implementing a PC to PC file transfer mechanism over 
a non-ethernet LAN, and it seems like TCP/IP would be a natural for this.
Specifically, I was thinking of using NCSA Telnet as the PC application
software, and writing a packet driver to provide the interface to the LAN
hardware.

My question for the net: `is this a reasonable approach?',

and if so, where can I find the specifics for Telnet/packet driver 
interface?

Many thanks,

--
