Are you sure there is one telnet/ftp APM? I thought telnet and ftp were two
different things. Which one would you use, and would it be necessary to use an
APM? There is a "tcpport" that is supposed to permit any DOS BBS dialup program
to be used for telnet. In that case maybe comtcp in OS/2 Warp 4 might do the
same from an OS/2 connection, using DOS BBS dialup program? Anyway, what server
would one telnet or ftp to, and what commands would be issued?
