As someone mentioned a couple of days ago, BYU has added client
ftp to NCSA Telnet.  It is available from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in
NCSA_Telnet/contributions.  I just got a hold of this and am
very pleased with it - thanks BYU!  Now I can do all my ftp/telnet
stuff with one piece of software.  I used to use NCSA Telnet for
telnet sessions since it has such good printing support but needed
to use SUMacIP for anonymous ftp.  MacIP works but I didn't like the
tiny little window you get for your ftp session. The program is
designed to use mac-style windows and buttons for issuing ftp
commands but it ends up being a lot more time-consuming than
just typing 'cd' 'ls' and 'get'.  It is, however, nice for trans-
ferring multiple files at once.

This is not meant to be a criticism of MacIP.  I just am very
satisfied with BYU's Telnet and wanted to share my opinion.
