My own TELNET/FTP/modem terminal program, TOPS Terminal, is supposedly
available from OSU, but TOPS refuses to tell me any details as to how
they are distributing the product I worked for two and a half years to
create. It is supposedly controlled freeware. It comes with a very
robust TCP/IP protocol suite which loads at INIT time and is accessible
through a glue library. The interface is based on the recommended TCP
and IP interfaces in the defining RFCs. It's compatible with
Appletalk, Ethernet, and modems (though it doesn't do SLIP -- it has a
conventional view of the modem, implementing XMODEM and ordinary
full-duplex terminal services). It will work with or without KIP, and
comes with a CDEV called Kipper that lets a Mac act as a KIP server
even when the gateway runs pre-KIP software.
It also has a script language, graph structutred on-line documentation,
a built-in text editor, OS-independent control characters, and a slew
of other nifty features, and has been the subject of innumerable hours
of quality assurance testing.
Call TOPS for more information, and if you find out anything, please
let me know.
