     Network Research Corporation's Fusion package supports IP, TCP, FTP, and
TELNET on a PC using a 3COM Ethernet board.  Only user side support is 
provided; there is no server support, so one normally uses this package to
talk to a larger machine, not between PCs.  TCP is supported at about the
same quality level as 4.2BSD (not 4.3), FTP seems OK, TELNET doesn't do
local echo right.  Performance is about 10K bytes/sec on good days for FTP.
The latest release has improved documentation and installation tools; it
doesn't take a guru to install, unlike the previous release.  Price
about $795, 3COM card extra.
