MachTen includes a full TCP suite of protocols, including telnet, smtp and ftp. In addition, it includes all the standard UNIX communications, such as the Berkeley r-series and both client and server NFS. MachTen also includes domain name service (DNS), IP forwarding, and a built-in Web server that supports multihoming. MachTen works over LocalTalk, ethernet and TokenTalk, and can route between these networks. For serial line connectivity, tip, cu, UUCP, SLIP and PPP are provided. MachTen makes use of the serial port portion of the Macintosh Communications Toolbox (CTB) if installed; otherwise, it controls the serial ports directly. Using AppleTalk Remote, it is possible to dial into your AppleTalk environment and then use MachTen TCP communications across your AppleTalk networks.
