Yes !

We are currently running a large server on top of FTP Software's
PC/TCP together with their PC/TCP Development kit. We are also 
using WD8003E cards, which work fine. PC/TCP also supports a lot
of other cards.

Our server (socket based) is able to run at least 16 simultanous
connections, (we see a limit there, which is almost certain imposed 
by lack of DOS descriptors).
I am sure that PC/TCP will handle more connections than this.

However, the product has run several months in our development dep.
and there have been NO (I am serious) problems at all with 
unreliable network software.

The folks at FTP Software give excellent support/service, and they also
(I think) want to sell a product that runs with most other
commercial implementations of TCP/IP. This should ensure a product
that corrects serious bugs during its life-cycle.

If there are any questions to our use of PC/TCP I am glad to be asked !
