No (or at least 'there shouldn't be'), you can download patches from ealier
versions up to 2.0.6

MacTCP - Control Panels folder
Hosts (a text file) - top level of system folder
MacTCP DNR - top level of system folder

and if not using localtalk/ethertalk/ethernet then a connection extension
which goes in the extensions folder (e.g. PPP, FreePPP, InterSLIP...) their
respective installers & documentation detail this ...

Only by removing localtalk support from the ROMs (i.e. no can do, anyway
education is better than emasculation, teach your user what they should
have selected....)

Sorry I only (try to) answer questions for people who hang around for the
answer.

Have Fun

You should be able to get it from your ISP - I know mine provides it.

Another way is to ask OZEmail for a Mac starter kit - last time I looked
they were free.  The kit has a MacTCP installer.

I unexpectedly got a copy of MacTCP 2.0.6 (the latest version) by
downloading the eXodus (X server) demo. (Prior to that, I'd had a 1.x
version.) Hopefully you can find it in a smaller package, :-) but if not,
the address is:

 http://www.wpine.com/

: Also, what are the essential files for MacTCP, and where do they go?

As far as I can tell, the only file you need is the MacTCP control panel
itself. Nice and simple. It will make a prefs file when you click on it
to set it up.

  No, MacTCP is strictly commercial software. There is no place one can
*legally* download it. :(

Apple now has it available for download from their Developer ftp site.
Go to:

ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Development_Kits/

and there you will find the file:

ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Development_Kits/MacTCP.sit.hqx

It's pretty big and has more than MacTCP 2.0.6 in it, but it should do
the trick.  It appears to be publicly accessible.  Look at the file

ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Development_Kits/MacTCP.txt

to see what is contained in the .hqx file.
