MacTCP ver 1.01 & 1.0.2 (for X-windows) are compatable with 7.0.  I've run it
with b4, b6, and now F2C2.  You do have to trick it to work though.  Prefs and
TCP go in system folder, and a copy of TCP goes in control panels.  I've not 
heard of a reason for the necessary juggling (some people are using alias), but
it's necessary so far.  There is a new TCP extension in the F2c2 release, but
I still had to fudge to get TCP access...

I don't know where you can get the MacTCP 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 locally, I got it 
from an X-windows user.

So far, I'm pleased as punch....
