In a sense we've encountered this problem here, but we solve it by simply switching to the newer version of NCSA Telnet which works with MacTCP. While the licensing for MacTCP is always an interesting discussion (every time I ask for "the facts" I get ten different answers), I believe one thing you (Cayman) could do is just license MacTCP from Apple so you can distribute it with your products. Then people who need NCSA Telnet could just use the most recent version instead of an older, bugger, dumber version of that program. There are so many products using MacTCP that it's really nice to have it around anyway. - - - - - - - - Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@rpi.edu or gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu ITS Systems Programmer (handles NeXT-type mail) Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy NY USA
