Using a utility like Shiva Dial-In or AppleTalk Remote Access to dial into
the AppleTalk network that the server is on would make this possible.

(Slow as hell, but possible.)

Primarily the problem seems to be one of making the host recognize

An Apple person posted to comp.unix.aux just the other day that the 
MacX used with A/UX is the "exact same binary" sold with MacX for MacOS

The only differance is the MacTCP which should NOT be interchanged between
the two.

Some of us don't have direct 'net connections.  We, who are usually
limited by the use of a serial line, with no hope for slip or ARA
(for "security reasons"), make lots of use of these sort of things.

This "Security" thing sometimes goes one better, too.  Until recently,
a version of Eudora that some nice fellow here had hacked for
CTB dial-in, worked just fine.  Now, however, the people in charge
have decided that the TCP server that we use is no longer allowed
to use anything but the standard telnet port.  This means that it
won't let Eudora telnet to the pop port.  No more Eudora from home.

And, I really can't complain too much, as at least here we are
all given accounts.  At other places, getting an account on
a net machine is like pulling teeth.

The point being that most of us out here don't have any way to
make use of MacTCP.  Given this fact, drag and drop tools are
enormously useful.  (Also, macbinary downloads and mcvert on
the unix machine help in a big way...)

I've been giving some thought to our existing educational MacTCP site
license.  I don't have any principled reason to object to Apple raising
the price of MacTCP somewhat, but I've concluded that we would probably
not license it at the new price, at least initially.  My current plan (my
educational site has about 2000 networked Macs) is to stick with our
existing MacTCP 1.x license, which by my reading of our contract will be
renewed perpetually as long as we are not in breach of the contract.

Interestingly, our contract refers to a license for "MacTCP" with no
limitation on version specified, and explicitly includes "all updates and
improvements."  I could believe that a new version might be argued by
Apple to be more than just an "update".

In the november 1992 issue of Data Communications magazine, there is an
article on MacX.400 SD which is a X.400 mail program with the OSI stack
included. $3000. 

	The same text refers to a TCP/IP Connection, priced at $49 per user. It is
not clear whether it includes MacTCP or not.

Netters,
  I understand that MacTCP 1.1.1 will cost $25 or $100, depending upon
whether you "have had it before".

  I have had earlier versions bundled with comm software (through v 1.1).
Does that put me in the "did not have it before" classification?

I've got my Mac at home doing this, except for NFS.  VersaTerm's SLIP LAP
($90) is set as a startup application which automatically dials up my
SLIP server at work and connects.  Eudora, Nuntius, Fetch, and NCSA
Telnet (all freeware) can then be used to run email, netnews, ftp, and
telnet, respectively.  They could presumably all be launched at startup
as well, though I'm not sure how Nuntius would deal with the connection
not being established when it starts up - I normally run them manually
off the desktop when I want them.  I haven't investigated NFS mounting
directories on our unix network - we do it at work through a GatorBox,
but I'm not sure if it's possible from a remote TCP connection (I don't
think so - you'd need TCP to AppleTalk routing on your Mac at home). 
Fetch does allow you to  ftp entire directories, however, so you can pull
down lots of data if you wish, but remember it's still a modem connection.

At this point MPII "Pro" only supports Telnet access over TCP/IP.

I've been hearing reports that it does not actually have the Telnet
tool packaged in the "Pro" box, so I just placed a call to their tech
support. Rakesh Chabra at SVC told me that the Telnet tool is in the
"MPII Pro" box, but not in the "MPII 4.0" box. My guess is that some
people have been confused by the split in the product line, and were
purchasing the "MPII 4.0" box expecting to find the Telnet tool.

There are supposedly more tools in the works, but I have no knowledge
of when they will be available, what tools will be offered, or if
they'll be free or cost extra.

I just ordered a single copy of MacTCP from APDA for $25.  Perhaps the
