Novell and HP have already released versions of TCP for Windows.
Some third party developers have also written applications for
these two systems. FTP software is rumoured to be bringing one
out soon. I know (vaguely) of around three others coming out
soon too.

Now, the price, on the other hand, is.... well, I already gave them
my comment personally, but the cost of the Novell package in Oz is
$800 per machine, or $4000 per 10 machines.

I haven't looked at the prices of the other commercial packages,
however I suspect there are two public domain or shareware ones
coming out shortly.
