Ok, I just got my ethernet card and I'm totally confused now. What are
NTS/2, Lan Server Requester, and the NFS Kit and what can/can't I do with
them? Will the Internet apps in Warp work with Resnet if I get one of
these, or will they need the complete TCP/IP package?
I was also told to steer clear of Novell Lan WorkPlace for OS/2, which I
have installed since it's free and all I need right now is ftp and telnet.
Is this thing going to bite me in the future?
What I need right now are ftp and telnet clients, and a way for a DOS
program (in a DOS box) to talk with MITNet. What I'd like in the future is
for the Warp Internet apps to work, an ftp and telnet server, a newsreader,
and possibly a Web server. What packages are required to do this?
