Isn't that really up to you, or more specifically your OS?
Not really, no - it is also up to the application. ShadowIRC and MacHTTP are MacTCP only, and Fetch is both. I know what my OS runs (OT 2.7.6); I just wanted to know what SIMS itself is using, in the off-chance that my Mac zoning out is MacTCP-related. I still don't know, but if SIMS went dead too, and it's OT, then possibly not.
My memory may be garbled, but as I recall it's actually a very complex picture there. Most apps that were coded to MacTCP would actually work just fine with the OT emulation layer, at least in 1.1.x. They could make MacTCP calls and get OT to answer them with no problem, and it didn't really matter what was lurking behind the scenes. Unfortunately, there were a few gotchas like loopback connections (BAD JUJU) and cases where a TCP option that should have meaning and common usage but not work through the OT emulation because it technically wasn't specified in original MacTCP... So most things that work with MacTCP work just fine with OT and use OT without knowing it, but a few would break terribly.
SIMS, thankfully, never had those issues.
