Hank,

As you know, my previous message to you announced the capabilities
of Release 3.2 of WIN/TCP for DOS.  This release is just now finishing 
its beta-testing and becoming available to customers, so it is now
appropriate to incorporate them into your scorecard.  I apologise for 
delaying its completion.

This release has the following capabilities :


Vendor      TFTP  POP ICMP SMTP VT-  3270 FTP   FTP  ARP  UDP  max   cost
                                 100      Clnt Srvr            FTP   ($)

Notes :

1. I have expanded a couple of columns where I felt there was some 
ambiguity in the (necessarily abbreviated) column-header, for the specific 
purpose of being more accurate.  You will know what your column
headers mean, and thus are in a better position to judge which answer to
use in the non-expanded form.

2. The 3C501 has been the ubiquitous card up until 3Com's recent move 
to replace it with the 3C503.  If the 501 is still obtainable from a few
sources, it won't be for very much longer.  I think this makes a strong 
case for the 503's inclusion in your list.

3. The 193KBs is an average figure using a PS/2 Model 60 (we see occasional
transfers of over 200KBs).
