I have written a program that would let you mount the CD onto your desktop
under A/UX. I am very slowly (cos I have no experience with MacTCP) writing
a MacTCP version. It will be ready in, say, six months to a year. Not much
use to you at the moment but I thought I'd send this reply because I like
people sending me MacTCP sample source code. I still haven't got exactly
what I want yet but enough to work on. MacTCP programming seems a lot more
difficult than Unix network programming. My program will be freeware.
