Folks-
  Seems to be some confusion out there, so I figured I would jump in and
confuse things further:-)
  MacTCP is currently at rev 2.0.6. I know of no plans to ever ship a
newer version. (but what do I know?)
  Open Transport (which includes a replacement for MacTCP called TCP/IP)
is currently at rev 1.0.8. It is only available on the newer PowerMac
7200, 7500, 8500, and 9500s.
  Apple will be shipping Open Transport 1.1 some time in the near
future. (I have been told everything from this past November to... well,
whenever) Open Transport 1.1 is supposed to run under System 7.5.? and
run on 68030s, 68040s and PowerMacs.
  I have heard many rumors as to how awful Open Transport is, but in our
experience, rev 1.0.8 has handled everything I have tried to use with
it, and is MUCH, MUCH more flexible than MacTCP. For one thing, no more
rebooting after you make configuration changes...
