I was thinking about the fact that the other three boxes are all talking to
each other but this dos/dv box isn't in the picture the way I'd like it to be. 
I had ncsa telnet's ftp package working with a packet driver,  but somehow
managed to break that and haven't gotten it working since then.

That software looks like a good alternative choice,  especially since it seems 
to give more functions.  Since I'm running tcp/ip here I thought there might
be a chance to use it,  mostly to access other machines on the network.  (I'm
doing things like using some homegrown web pages to access doc files,  etc.)

Ouch.

Can't say I've done much with it.
