PC/TCP is a good commercial product, but also includes a lot of features
(NFS, lpd, etc.) that aren't of interest to 99% of users.
If you are interested in a good shareware implementation of TCP/IP,
with full support of Windows 3.1 using the WINSOCK model, check out
QVT/net and the Trumpet Winsock.
At last check, the total cost of this approach is $70 ($40 for QVT/net,
$30 for Trumpet Winsock). As shareware, the user can download and
test the software for a reasonable period of time, and if satisfied,
he/she registers by sending the fee to the authors. Registration usually
entitles the user to a full set of printed manuals and periodic updates.
QVT/net provides a host of TCP/IP applications including a Telnet
client (VT220 emulation), an FTP client/server, a POP3 (mail) client
and a USENET news reader. We have tested this software here at CBER
and it works great. Also, Trumpet's Winsock can be used to support
other public domain/shareware applications such as GopherBook, and
NCSA Mosaic.
Feel free to contact me on the availability of these packages, or
for more information in general.
