To the ever increasing group of netters after TCP/IP software that will
run in 386 enhanced mode,

	I received a couple of replies regarding the FTP softaware and
some correspondance from FTP. I have also discovered a few things from
other articles on the net.

In summary:
		
	* the FTP socket library will not run in 386 enhanced mode
	* FTP do NOT intend to produce a socket library that will work
	  in 386 enhanced mode but will provide the source to their
	  current socket library
	* writing your application as a TSR (yuk, messy) will allow
	  you to run the socket library as a dos library
	* most of the major network software people do not have
	  socket libraries in their packages that are windows (386 enhanced)
	  compatible
	* you will probably have read Fredrik Nyman's response to Enno Davids
	  request for information about socket libraries. He suggested a
	  product called NetManage NEWT available from
			100020 North DeAnza Blvd., Suite 101
			Cupertino, CA 95014
			PHONE (408) 257-6404
			FAX   (408) 257-6405
	 
	 This package claims to work under all windows modes and seems to
	 have an adequate socket library.  We are purchasing a copy to
	 evaluate it.

I will be attempting to use the NEWT package to replace the FTP libraries 
that run the TCP/IP protocol from our application. We are using Western
Digital Ethernet cards.
