I tried to COPY this from their article the best I could. Typically, each
issue has a correction to previous articles so sometime in the feature one
of the above ratings may change..but then again they might not.
As for my experience, when I was using an OS/2 machine we used the IBM
TCP/IP packages. Overall it's pretty good. Over a year ago when we needed
it, it was the fastest FTP around and we were doing large file transfers.
Also, it was the only one at the time with a 5250 client. We needed that
for connecting to AS/400's. I did participate in an IBM phone interview of
users of their product and passed on some comments for improvement. First,
the keyboard mapping could be done through a GUI tool or something rather
than having to edit files for 3270/5250/etc. sessions. Second, 2.0 didn't
install over previuos (1.?) version. I know, I tried it 4 - 5 times before
giving up. Also, it took about 3 tech. support people at IBM to get around
that one.
Now that I'm on a Mac, I'm using some NCSA telnet programs and they work
ok.

Didn't work much with X terminal software on the IBM, but did a little
testing with the IBM product. The early version was real slow, but when we
upgraded to the latest release with all of the CSD's, we were able to move
right along.
All testing was done and worked at 6M and 16M. 6M works, but is not
recommended.
