I used to sit and read comp.sys.mac.comm and say "Hey, that program
there sounds really cool, but it requires MacTCP, and all I have is a
weenie little 2400 non-MNP modem.  Oh well."

Well, now I have a job, and the job has Macs, and the Macs have Ethernet
and Fastpaths and all sorts of spiffy networking stuff.  And MacTCP.

(Oh, and System 7.0, too. ;-)

So what's out there to do what?  What's good?  What's not so good?  I'm
looking for ANYTHING that uses MacTCP; commercial stuff is not excepted
(though it may lose out to freeware sometimes).

And, just as importantly, where do I get it?  Quite a bit of this stuff
is ftpable (after all, they *ARE* TCP/IP programs), but where?

I'd say "mail me and I'll summarize," but this is the kind of thing that
benefits from a vigorous discussion.  Besides, it'll give everyone a
chance to say "but it doesn't work with System 7". ;-)
