Both ours and theirs pretty much work, the last time we did timings, ours was a bit faster, and it is most definatly smaller. But as I said they are both pretty servicable. There is also a straight TCP/Tool that comes with MacX. Does not allow telnet though. I think that the Frnce company is working on or has a FTP tool, we are looking into doing the samething as well. VersaTerm Pro is now shipping with a FTP tool and a telnet tool. WRQ Reflections has CTB support in the latest version. I don't know how you would go about getting a demo copy if you don't have access to AppleLink. You might ask the French company to mail you one though.
