Sorry this took so long, first some corrections/clarifications using John
Romkey's suggestion of yes meaning both client and server, client meaning
just client, server meaning just server and no meaning neither.

* Max FTP rate is 114 KBytes/Sec on PS/2M60 from Vaxstation2000 Ultrix 2.0 
  to NUL in PC-DOS 3.3
** Anywhere from about ~$150 to ~$300 depending on quantity.

*** If you have a VM license yes.

Some possible additions:

    rexec, lpr, network monitoring (IBM's has these)
    The rest of the r's, programmer's toolkit (socket library).
