Microsoft TCP/IP provides Windows-based networking with a set of internetworking protocols based on open standards.
Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows NT includes many common connectivity applications such as ftp, rsh, and telnet that support file transfer, remote process execution, and terminal emulation for communication on the Internet and between non-Microsoft network systems.
TCP/IP applications created by researchers and other users, such as Gopher and NCSA Mosaic, are in the public domain or are available through other vendors as both 16-bit and 32-bit Windows-based applications. Any of these applications that follow the Windows Sockets 1.1 standard are compatible with Windows NT. Such applications allow a Windows NT computer to act as a powerful Internet client using the extensive internetworking components with public-domain viewers and applications to access Internet resources.
Tip Public-domain Windows-based utilities such as LPR and Gopher can be obtained on the Internet via ftp.cica.indiana.edu in the /pub/win3/nt or /pub/win3/winsock directory, or via the same directories on ftp.cdrom.com.
