Hi dudes, 

I hope you don't mind some FAQs (?) from a newbie, do you? Well, I need
some technical info about FTP, FSP, TELNET and stuff like that....

1.) What is FSP exactly? I know and have seen FTP already and been told
    that FSP is kinda similar. What are the differences? Is there a program
    "FSP.EXE" for the IBMPC, similar to the "FTP.EXE" from FTP software?
    Or, is there a public domain version? 
    If not, is there atleast a UNIX version? Is is shareware anyway?
    If it *is* shareware, on which FTP site, in which subdir might I
    find it? If not, where can I find info, anyway?

2.) Our "tn.exe" (telnet) preferres to make fuss. Sometimes I can easily
    connect to an FTP site, but at the same time TN would't want to 
    connect. ("Host unrechable, destination unreachable"). Strange...
    In general, TELNET seems not to want to connect as easily as FTP. 

Any help is greatly appreciated, E-mail answers preferred 'coz I cant
sift through all the news everyday.

Thanks
        Alex (schuetz@fm11ap01.tu-graz.ac.at)
