I have uploaded freetcp.zip to hobbes.nmsu.edu and ftp.cdrom.com.
It's now in the incoming directory but it will probably end up in
the network/tcpip dir. The latest version is always available from my
homepage:

With the contents of this file, you can use the Internet Access Kit included
with regular Warp (Red box and Blue box) on your Local Area Network, e.g.
Ethernet. Normally, the IAK can only be used with a serial dial up link
to a Internet Service Provider, using the SLIP or PPP protocol.
No extra networking software such as Warp Connect or Lantastic is needed.
Although these packages are not bad at all, you may not want to spend more
money. And you may not need all the features of these products (such as
Peer-to-Peer connectivity, TCP/IP server daemons, etc.). The solution
contained in this archive works great for people on a budget, for instance
students with Ethernet in their dorms.
To get started, you'll need one other file. Please read the README.1ST in
freetcp.zip (also available on my homepage) before you download this
particular file.
