Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.comm Path: utzoo!utgpu!news-server.csri.toronto.edu!rpi!think.com!zaphod.mps.ohio-state.edu!wuarchive!uunet!world!eff!ckd From: ckd@eff.org (Christopher Davis) Subject: MacTCP applications: What's good, what's bad, what's where? Message-ID: Sender: ckd@eff.org (Christopher Davis) Organization: The Electronic Frontier Foundation Date: 24 May 91 11:23:06 Lines: 26 I used to sit and read comp.sys.mac.comm and say "Hey, that program there sounds really cool, but it requires MacTCP, and all I have is a weenie little 2400 non-MNP modem. Oh well." Well, now I have a job, and the job has Macs, and the Macs have Ethernet and Fastpaths and all sorts of spiffy networking stuff. And MacTCP. (Oh, and System 7.0, too. ;-) So what's out there to do what? What's good? What's not so good? I'm looking for ANYTHING that uses MacTCP; commercial stuff is not excepted (though it may lose out to freeware sometimes). And, just as importantly, where do I get it? Quite a bit of this stuff is ftpable (after all, they *ARE* TCP/IP programs), but where? I'd say "mail me and I'll summarize," but this is the kind of thing that benefits from a vigorous discussion. Besides, it'll give everyone a chance to say "but it doesn't work with System 7". ;-) --Chris -- Christopher Davis, System Manager & Postmaster, Electronic Frontier Foundation Email -- Domain: , Bangist: <{uunet,bu.edu,...}!world!eff!ckd> Snail Mail: 155 Second Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 - PSTN: +1 617 864 1550 [ For information on the EFF, mail me or ftp to eff.org (192.88.144.3) ]
