Our search group is new to using the Internet to search commercial databases (Dialog, STN, NLM, etc.). We love the speed, but are having trouble figuring out how to use the software we have to do things we normally do as searchers, such as uploading searches. We are using Clarkson's terminal emulator program. Our network support people think we should be able to use regular communicationpackages to connect to the Internet, using Interrupt 14. This seems to be supported by NLM's new release of Grateful Med, which directly mentions the Internet and Interrupt 14. Procomm for Windows also has the ability to set Interrupt 14 as the communications port of choice. Is anyone using standard communications packages for searching on the Internet? How is it working? Was it awkward to set up? I'll be glad to post a summary of responses if there's interest. Sorry for the cross-posting. Sue Jones Rohm & Haas Co. Internet address:ROHVM1.RBRSEJ@CDCMVS1.ROHMHAAS.COM
